PSD file will not open in Photoshop

I am getting a "could not complete your request becasue it is not the right kind of document" error when I try to open a PSD file I created a few days ago.  I am using Photoshop 2022 on a Windows 11 PC.  I use photoshop every day, and I have never seen this before.  Is this a corrupted file?  Is there a way to recover it?

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Could be corrupted. Can you zip and upload to something like Dropbox so others can examine it?

Is it only this one PSD?

It is only this one PSD.  Here is a shared dropbox link:
