Isn't the I-485 supposed to be $1225?

You’re right, I realized that I made that stupid mistake. I wished they called me to provide another form of payment instead of resending the whole application for such a small error.

Yup, they just don't do that.  They don't have the staff to call people who make errors, unfortunately.

I have to resubmit and and correct the fees. Last time, @HRQX mentioned that the medical form is valid only 60 days after surgeon signature which is expired for me. I went to check the USCIS website and I found the below update.

Could you please confirm that I can still use my form which was signed on 9/21/2021.I am using the old form by the way. Thanks.

Sure looks like it!  That is a stroke of luck.  I'd say resubmit asap, and you should be fine.

Is it still sealed? If so, you can still use that I-693. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/policy-manual-updates/20211209-I-693FilingReqt.pdf

It’s not sealed.
When they send back the application for payment error, the open everything and reorganize the paperwork their way. They also use staples!
