First I want to thank Dr. Lichtenbau for taking time out to look at
these problems. He is good at resolving doubts.
The Problem of a product form for the Adamson ultrazeta (1.291286)
is unresolved still.

Neither of these candidates seem to fill the bill,
but as Dr. Lichtenbau points out, all three of these numbers are
probably transcendental. And they seem to be new and unknown as well.
The may well not be important.
A=Product[1/(1 - 1/Prime[n]^f[n]), {n, 1, Infinity}]
exists such that
A=Sum[1/n^n,{n,1,Infinity}]=1.291..
and it appear this new function is such that everywhere:
f[n] >= Prime[n]
The idea presents itself that maybe:
Product[1/(1 - 1/Prime[n]^PrimePi[n]), {n, 1, Infinity}]
N[%]
Mathematica completely refuses to resolve that product.
Dr. Lichenbau's method:
pnpn[n_] := 1/Prime[n]^PrimePi[n]
logppreduced[m_] := Sum[Sum[pnpn[n]^j/j, {n, 1, m}],
{j, 1, Infinity}]
ppreduced[m_] := Exp[logppreduced[m]]
InputForm[ppapproxtable10 =
Table[ppreduced[m], {m, 1, 10}]]
N[%]
8.796649532382020782453191915* 10^10402
which is either a new prime or is singular ( humor).
Here is one based on a Bob Hanlon Binet solver that I don't expect to
give an answer:
RSolve[{Product[1/(1 - 1/Prime[n]^f[n]), {n, 1, Infinity}] - Sum[1/n^n,
{n, 1, Infinity}] == 0}, f[n], n]
I make the hypothesis that:
f[n]=k*Prime[n]
Here is a method that gives a much closer answer:
h[n_Integer?Positive] = 1/(1
-1/Prime[n]^(1.3850602852044895*Prime[n]/1.2912859970626636))
Product[h[n], {n, 1, Infinity}]
N[%]
1.3311226406531202
Some semi-emprical work gives:k-->1.1359
h[n_Integer?Positive] = 1/(1 - 1/Prime[n]^(1.1359*Prime[n]))
1.291855277548342`
Still a little large but at least we have an idea of what Product give
that sum. I realize that this isn't as satisfying as a closed form, but
it is one step closer to undersatanding the dynamics involved.
Sqrt[1.2912859970626636]=1.1363476567770374
h[n_Integer?Positive] = 1/(1 - 1/Prime[n]^(1.1363476567770374*Prime[n]))
Product[h[n], {n, 1, Infinity}]
N[%]
1.29159935712232
1.29159935712232 - 1.2912859970626636=0.00031336
Which seems about as close as Mathematica products are to their sums
unless the answer is known.
