Google can show search ads with video formats. I mean, Google has been doing this for a while now, but they are kind of rare to see. This latest one is a video ad from Adidas.
This was spotted by Sachin Patel who shared a screenshot and video of it in action on X:

We've seen various video ad formats over the years, so, again, this is not new. Heck, Google even tested video ads in search back in 2008!
Forum discussion at X.
