They are not being manufactured anymore but it is still possible to buy new old stock. One guy is trying to keep them in circulation (he owns floppydisk.com) and I found a somewhat recent article that has some good info as well: https://www.raconteur.net/technology/the-floppygeddon-cometh

Yes. As time goes on, old equipment continues to fail or get recycled so less of it is available, and there are still people interested for numerous reasons. The CT1350 sells for around $70+ USD on eBay at the moment. 486 hardware is getting more desirable.

Or this one maybe, the only model I can find is t746.fr but I'm pretty sure this case design was available in other European countries.
