To resolve such things, you can go to

  https://packages.debian.org/

and search for your package (I'm lazy and search just for "qt5scxml". Make
sure dstribution is set to "all", architecture likewise.

If you want to click less, you can try directly:

  https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=qt5scxml&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

You will see that this package only exists for bullseye/oldoldstable
and for bookworm/oldstable (and for sid/unstable, but this is bogus,
see below).

Go to libqt5scxml5, say in bookworm:

  https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/libqt5scxml5

At the top of the page there's a link to the source package, labelled
[Source: ...]:

  https://packages.debian.org/source/bookworm/qtscxml-everywhere-src

From there you go to "Developer Information", a link to be found at the
right, among a list under the title "Debian Resources:":

  https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/qtscxml-everywhere-src

There you can see what happened to the package: it has been removed.
If you go to the second line, you'll be led (via one indirection)
to the root of things:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1095844

  "Please remove src:qtscxml-everywhere-src, replaced by src:qt6-scxml
   in Qt 6, no reverse-(build-)dependencies in sid."

so it seems to be the result of a normal Qt5 -> Qt6 transition.

What you can do will depend on why you need that Qt5 library in the
first place :-)
