Many ports are reserved for common functions (22 and 53 are always ssh and dns), but many are used for different things altogether (8080 for instance can be used for many different services across many different vendors/developers).

IANA maintains the list of reserved ports when dealing with internet, and can be found at their website (along with other lists such as top level domains, IP address allocation, etc.) https://iana.org/
