Pressure units depend on whether the solver is compressible (and the units are "real" pressure units) or incompressible (and the units are for "kinematic pressure, i.e. pressure/density). There are many threads on this topic -- see e.g. Pressure units in incompressible solvers or https://www.openfoam.com/documentati...-pressure.html.
