This means that mdadm found two devices (or partitions) with
superblocks that set super-minor=1, thus /dev/md1. You probably want
to find the device/partition which defines the unwanted array and
call --zero-superblock on it, after making sure you know what you're
doing.

> 2) while with mdadm --detail --scan i get:

This actually inspects only arrays which are assembled. Therefore,
it's logical you don't find the /dev/md1 raid1.

You can try

  mdadm -Esvcpartitions

and see which devices have the unwanted superblock, then zero it on
each.
