PowerShell itself doesn't have any options for this, but it also doesn't really have a way to surface it. You can use win32 API's (or I think sysinternals might have a tool for it?) to set something up like this yourself, but if you'd like the feature baked into conhost/terminal you'd want to file the issue on microsoft/terminal or feedback hub/user voice.

PowerShell doesn't control how it is displayed on screen, it has to be run inside a terminal program like PowerShell ISE, or Visual Studio Code, or the most basic one is Windows Console Host. It's up to them to be "always on top" or not, and I don't think any of them have that option.
If you are willing to try another terminal program, ConEmu is a popular one which can run PowerShell and has Always on top settings.
