The php-smbclient package is only available in the 18.04 Universe repository, so cannot be installed on 21.04 without adding a 3rd-party repo, such as the ondrej PPA.

You can add this to your system like so:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt update

From here you will be able to install the php-smbclient package.
