Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

df = pd.DataFrame(
    {
        "a": [-1., 2., 3., 4., 5.],
        "b": [1., 2., 3., 4., 5.],
    }, dtype=pd.Float64Dtype()
)

df = np.sqrt(df)
# Returns False
print(df.isna().any().any())
# Returns True
print(pd.isna(df.loc[0, "a"]))

Issue Description

Apply a NumPy operation that yields NaN for some value of the dataframe of type Float64Dtype. Then pandas null checking functions (isna, isnull, notna) will not detect the NaN value. However, it is detected if we index the NaN value.

Expected Behavior

Both the above print statements should be True.
