Description
https://github.com/w3c/webcrypto/blob/master/spec/Overview.html#L9478-L9479 and https://github.com/w3c/webcrypto/blob/master/spec/Overview.html#L11081-L11082 (on how to export ECDSA and ECDH keys) provide a reference to where the privateKeyInfo ASN.1 structure is defined. But it should be RFC5208 instead of RFC5280.

Research direction
Open spec/Overview.html at lines 9478-9479 and 11081-11082, then verify the cited ASN.1 standard for privateKeyInfo in the ECDSA and ECDH export sections. Done means both references point to RFC5208 rather than RFC5280.
