$ curl -sv https://shibboleth.net/cgi-bin/mirrorlist.cgi/CentOS_7 2>&1 | fgrep -A3 "Server certificate"
* Server certificate:
* subject: CN=shibboleth.net
* start date: Feb 11 02:38:43 2022 GMT
* expire date: May 12 02:38:42 2022 GMT
I.e., that cert is unexpired (and the chain is fine, as Scott said).
You can always use SSLabs' SSLtest from a browser, if in doubt.

Doesn't sound likely to me when the error above reads "Could not
retrieve mirrorlist"?
Anyway, none of the 3 servers listed there have expired certificates.
One of those 3 (the one I operate) does not offer TLS at all currently
(because the distributed packages themselfs are signed and I don't
believe secrecy about what packages you install will buy you much once
someone knows you're taking to a Shib package mirror) -- but that
wouldn't cause a "certificate has expired" error.
