That depends on the version of Photos.
On macOS 12 Monterey you can do it like this:
"User chewch discovered that the extraction of still frames has been moved to the "File > Export" dialog: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253344584?page=1
The method has been described in the user guide in the section Export photos, videos, and slideshows from Photos on Mac - Apple Support of the Photos user guide, the paragraph "Export a video frame as a photo":
You can review a video clip to identify an outstanding frame and export it as a photo into the Pictures folder.
In the Photos app on your Mac, open a video clip, and drag the playhead to the frame you want to export.
Choose File > Export > Export Frame to Pictures.
A TIFF file named “Frame [date]” appears in the Pictures folder."
