You can use apt-list -a <packagename> to see the versions of said package that are available to download. On Ubuntu 18.04 (WSL):

$ apt list -a libssl-dev

The output is as follows:

Listing... Done
libssl-dev/bionic-updates,bionic-security 1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.5 amd64
libssl-dev/bionic 1.1.0g-2ubuntu4 amd64

These are the versions of libssl-dev that are available through Ubuntu's package repository. The version you are trying to install (1.0.2a) is not available for installation on Ubuntu 18.04 using apt. If you must have that specific version of libssl-dev, then there are alternative ways of installing it. It shouldn't hurt to try one of the newer versions, though.
