PyErr_Display is not documented, but it is mentioned in the stable abi file:

Doc/data/stable_abi.dat:function,PyErr_Display,3.2,,

I'm not sure what this means for PyErr_DisplayException.

It looks to me as if PyErr_Display is some sort of internal debugging function.
Is it used anywhere?

Does git blame tell you anything about why it was added to the stable ABI?

It looks to me as if PyErr_Display is some sort of internal debugging function.

It's what prints traceback when an uncaught exception occurs in the repl or in a script, (it's what the default sys.excepthook uses) so I'd hardly call it internal. It is the standard way of producing a standard formatted exception from C.

So this will hit the case where PyErr_Display() stuffs the given traceback onto the exception if the latter doesn't already have one? (Else why not use PyErr_DisplayException(), right?)

Exactly. This is sys.excepthook() which anyone can call so we need to deprecate the case where traceback != value.__traceback__ before we can use PyErr_DisplayException here. (And eventually go through some kind of migration exercise for excepthook's signature, but let's survive the __exit__ discussion first).
