Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

In [15]: import pandas as pd

In [16]: s = pd.Series([1, 2, None], dtype="Int64")

In [17]: s
Out[17]: 
0       1
1       2
2    <NA>
dtype: Int64

In [18]: s.replace(np.nan, -1)
Out[18]: 
0     1
1     2
2    -1
dtype: Int64


In [20]: s.replace(pd.NA, -1)
Out[20]: 
0     1
1     2
2    -1
dtype: Int64

In [21]: pd.__version__
Out[21]: '1.5.3'

Issue Description

s is a nullable int64 dtype series, but when calling replace with np.nan, pd.NA values are being replaced too. Is this an expected behavior?

Expected Behavior

In [15]: import pandas as pd

In [16]: s = pd.Series([1, 2, None], dtype="Int64")

In [17]: s
Out[17]: 
0       1
1       2
2    <NA>
dtype: Int64

In [18]: s.replace(np.nan, -1)
Out[18]: 
0     1
1     2
2    <NA>
dtype: Int64

In [20]: s.replace(pd.NA, -1)
Out[20]: 
0     1
1     2
2    -1
dtype: Int64

In [21]: pd.__version__
Out[21]: '1.5.3'
