I just did this very thing in v16 (head-ish) and it worked as expected,
preventing the non-superuser role from executing the function:
Session 1 - superuser
postgres=# revoke execute on function pg_terminate_backend from public;
REVOKE
Session 2 - non-superuser (normalrole with direct login)
postgres=> select pid, usename, query, state from pg_stat_activity;
pid | usename | query
| state
--------+------------+----------------------------------------------------------+--------
466663 | | <insufficient privilege>
|
466664 | vagrant | <insufficient privilege>
|
470387 | normalrole | select pid, usename, query, state from
pg_stat_activity; | active
470391 | normalrole | select pg_sleep(1000);
| active
470412 | vagrant | <insufficient privilege>
|
466660 | | <insufficient privilege>

466659 | | <insufficient privilege>

postgres=> select pg_terminate_backend(470391);
ERROR: permission denied for function pg_terminate_backend
