Actually, the water damage to the door itself easily justifies
replacement, so
a prehung assembly would be attractive. however, I looked around at HD
(which is what I assume you mean by "big box" ) and they have
some prehung door/frame sets, but none with doors like ours which are
hollow core faced with oak. The HD ones seem to all be hardboard
faces, which
to me does more than rhyme with cardboard. I didn't see any frames by
themselves,
other than one with a 20 minute fire rating thst looked appropriate
for
a garage door but not a bathroom. Are they available?

You have run into the big gotcha of the Borg and similar stores- they stock
based on 80/20 rule (80% of sales are for the same 20% of items), so there
is little money in stocking the oddball stuff. You probably want to try a
real lumberyard or trim mill, the kind that is in the nasty part of town,
not in an asphalt lake, and only open M-F 7-4 and maybe till noon on Sat,
since that is when their customers, working tradesmen, do their shopping.
Unless you can dig up the make and model of your door, it'll help to take
the old door slab in, and just tell them you need to match it. Worst case
scenario- they have to special order what you need from a door company. But
unlike the Borg, they will know how to do it.
