I would have to develop a roll of film to find out.Is there ever a situation where normal DoF, even at the most open aperture, would not result in a crisp image at infinity (either way)?
Which "focusing aid"; the split image? And which screen? If you are using a screen with microprism I'd consider that a better thing to check than the split image.
Which lens?
One would use an autocollimator (or distant object) and a known good body and/or known good lens to diagnose the issue.
Do you have any other Nikon bodies or lenses?

In addition to the screen, I'll add that the focusing aid might be the problem. Does it have a diopter adjustment -- as many do? Does it seem out of focus without the focusing aid? Does anyone else also see it as out-of-focus?
Do you use glasses?

The Nikon FE doesn't have a diopter adjustment. I also do not wear glasses.
People use diopter adjustments eyepiece attachment accessories for cameras that lack built in adjustments.
I would reiterate - the camera may be focused on infinity - both the viewing system and the film - and the lens markings may be wrong or may sometimes be wrong, depending on temperature.
So it was a conscious decision to put a bit of over-focus?
Regarding diopter, never heard of an aftermarket adjustable diopter viewfinder attachment gizmo for a Nikon, but there were corrective diopter eyepieces. They are marked with the diopter strength.

Hello,
using the focusing aid,
What "focusing aid" are you referring too?
