Many video formats use rectangular pixels. It's less common these days, but there were no squares on DVDs for example.
Even some VGA modes have non-square pixels, and these were used by many games and... Windows 9x splash screen.
BBC Micro in graphics mode 2 the pixel is a 2:1 rectangle. Other geometries for different modes. It's going back a bit, but very much living memory!

In medical imaging, data are often acquired using anisotropic resolution. So a pixel (or voxel in 3D) can be an averaged signal sample originating from 2mm of tissue in one direction and 0.9mm in another direction.
and it’s displayed with a completely different algorithm…
They're rectangles on my monitor.
If black and white or some other cases, but there are typically subpixels that can make things like sparse enough text stroke transitions get 3X horizontal resolution.
The subpixels are rectangles on most screens.

Do the 3 separate sub pixels look like a photoshop pixel?
I'm not sure what you mean by Photoshop pixel.
They also look more like a square when I back away. And the mismatch of the square model doesn't mean the point model is good.
