Comment:

 I believe sirzooro is correct.

 In this instance the get_the_author_link() gets the website URL that is
 entered into the text field on a user's profile which is usually an
 external URL (unless someone manually enters a link to the site site), not
 the users post archive page.

 The link to the users post archive page can be retrieved using
 the_author_posts_link() which already adds a rel="author" attribute.
