Side note: it should be either just "man(1)" or "man(8)" without any URL 
for plain text export, but it is another story.

See the attached patch.

After:

--- 8< ---
web
      [Org mode] (<http://orgmode.org>)
man
      [man] (<http://man.he.net/?topic=man&section=all>)
internal
      [heading] (See section 1)


1 Heading
═════════
--- >8 ---

Before:

--- 8< ---
web
      [Org mode] (<http://orgmode.org>)
man
      man (http://man.he.net/?topic=man&section=all)
internal
      heading (See section 1)


1 Heading
═════════
--- >8 ---

I would consider

--- 8< ---
web
      Org mode <http://orgmode.org>
man
      man <http://man.he.net/?topic=man&section=all>
internal
      heading (See section 1)


1 Heading
═════════
--- >8 ---

but inconsistency is worse anyway.
