what to buy

The shocks are supposed to be on the faces of the people you ride by.
😎

But "unicycle technology" has come a long way since your 70's Schwinn.
There are plenty to choose from. Your best bet is something with a wider
tire, which gets you more air volume, which gets you a smoother ride on
the bumpy stuff.

The place to shop is Unicycle.com. Depending on the type of riding you
do, you could go with a larger wheeled cruiser-type unicycle, or a
mountain uni. Like these:

Do they make them with shocks?

To answer your specific questions: Yes shock seatposts for unicycles
have been built, but they do have their problems. You'd better follow
the excellent (as always) advice by John Foss.
