I suspect that whatever is being reverse-proxied changed recently to
send these headers.

add_header is "please send this in the nginx response, as well as
everything else".

proxy_hide_header is "please do not send this, from upstream to the
client".

proxy_ignore_headers is "don't use these special headers".

You probably want to add "proxy_hide_header Cache-Control"; or to change
back whatever changed on your upstream which made it claim that things
are public.

You can look at the response from upstream (e.g.,
$upstream_http_cache_control) to confirm whether the header is set there.
