Why do some specific web pages have addresses that contain SEVERAL dozen nonsense characters in the address bar? Even if there are quadrillions of individual web pages there are still way too many characters than necessary for them all to be unique and leave room for more.

If you had given an example, it would really have been helpful…
But what you are probably talking about is a tracking ID that the websites use to know exactly who is doing the clicking, at what time, and where the link came from, such as what ad or chat or share or whatever. These are typically called “GUID”s, for “Guaranteed Unique ID”s. They are large enough, and also based on time, so the same system will never duplicate an ID.
