The problem here appears to be with the URL you are requesting. It seems to require that an Accept header be passed along with it.

rfc2616 states:

If no Accept header field is present, then it is assumed that the client accepts all media types.

So the server handling the request is not RFC2616 compliant.

However, to work around the issue, you can simply add:

- name: get public_key                                                                       
  get_url:
    url: https://build.opensuse.org/projects/home:manuelschneid3r/public_key
    dest: /tmp/albert_gpg
    headers:
      Accept: '*/*'
