The STK license already says:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code/blob/master/COPYING#L3-L10">https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code/blob/master/COPYING#L3-L10</a><br>

<p>>“The SuperTuxKart data files (textures, models, sounds,
music, etc.) are released under a mixture of licenses including,
but not limited to, the following:” <br>

<p>… but not limitied to…?</p>

Perhaps someone could just ask STK to add the openssl licens to
their mix of (other) licenses, or as an additional permission as
described in
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLIncompatibleLibs">https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLIncompatibleLibs</a> to
make it a proper exeption?<br>

If you're using GPLv3, you can accomplish this goal by granting an
additional permission under section 7.”<br>

Oh, yes, of course you are right. It does.
Is that what makes it non-distributable? Even though it doesn’t link
against openssl?

<pre wrap="">
Supertuxkart uses curl, curl uses openssl. They form a single program.
You thus have to follow the licenses of all the component parts, and
because of certain clauses in the GPL and the OpenSSL license, you
cannot distribute the combination at all.
