Yes. Many years ago the "..." menu on each search result had a "Block this domain" button, and you could manage your blocklist from your profile.
I can't find much information about it online, but this page from 2012[1] mentions it was already disabled:
Google also offers a web dashboard for manually blocking spam websites, one URL at a time. You can add up to 500 different websites to your blocked list and Google won’t show pages from any of the included sites provided you are signed in with your Google account. That’s the promise but unfortunately, this solution doesn’t seem to work anymore.

Note that it was not even on the "..." menu (it didn't exist at the time), it was a naked button under every result, reading "Block all example.com results". Chuck another feature into the pile of "look how far we've regressed".
