Can you start with the RHEL 7.9 system updated to the latest packages, 
remove the 
/etc/yum.repos.d/download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org_results_isc_bind_epel-8-_.repo 
file, put 
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/isc/bind/repo/epel-7/isc-bind-epel-7.repo 
to /etc/yum.repos.d/, and tell us what's the command's output when you 
try to install "isc-bind"?

It wasn't clear to me what was the error before you started disabling 
things in download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org_results_isc_bind_epel-8-_.repo.
