Why does nvidia-smi show a different version? -> Only the nvidia developers know why.
I suggest to ignore the nvida-smi output.
Why do cuda package and nvidia driver package don't match? -> Only the package maintainer of the distribution knows.
We have had this discussion, for many times, on Arch, e.g.:
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/p...-/issues/7
But now Arch has a solution.
How to prevent that this happens again on API or driver change?
First take a look at the compatibility table linked above. If everything matches than run pacman -Syu
If not - tell pacman to ignore the package (as long as the version doesn't match):
edit /etc/pacman.conf
IgnorePkg = cuda
Remove that, if cuda has been updated to a matching version.
And why is the site telling me the latest version is 550? -> It's (the new branch) there:
Linux x86_64/AMD64/EM64T
Latest Production Branch Version: 550.142
Latest New Feature Branch Version: 565.77

In detail:
Latest New Feature Branch Version: 565.77

Like Arch, Manjaro is a rolling release distribution too. I don't recommend to install this driver outside the package manager.
But if you really need it, build your own custom package and install that.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Creating_packages
I recommend to wait until the packages have been released. the driver is already in unstable:
