No, I don't think RHEL 9 has been released yet because 5.3 shows to be the latest version according to the Red Hat website. You can download the source for Anacron here should you want to compile it for your version of RHEL:

Red Hat | The Open Source Leader

There might be some binaries for it available on the web that can be found with some searching effort, but not sure. Perhaps someone else with respond with more information for you.

RHEL 9 is an old version released in 2003 here you can have a link Red Hat Linux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia if you want to check out. Actually the release has been numbered in an odd manner

No, you seem to be confused. Red Hat and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) are not the same thing. Here's a quote from the page at the link you provided above:

Since 2003, Red Hat has discontinued the Red Hat Linux line in favor of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) for enterprise environments.

The older Red Hat (RH) releases reached a version 9, but the highest release of RHEL so far is 5.3, but you can read more about the history of RH and RHEL at the link below should you wish to know more about them:
