Just upgraded to the 13700k and the MSI z790 Tomahawk DDR4. I have the latest BIOS version 15.
I am missing the last two options as seen in the posted picture (taken from the online manual for this specific model). I have tried changing multiple different settings and cant get them to show up.

I can currently only wake my PC by pressing the power button.
If I enable "Resume By USB Device", then my computer randomly wakes back up on its own (usually soon after going to sleep).

I need these options back on my mobo. Is this a "update" (downgrade) and the option is no longer available, is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong here?

Yes, these options are not there anymore, this is normal on MSI's 500- and 600-series boards with a current BIOS as well.
Maybe these platforms don't support PS/2 devices anymore, or you'd have to set your BIOS to CSM/Legacy mode (which would block Win11 installation, it requires UEFI mode).

How would I go about waking up my pc with only the click of the mouse or press of a key?
As I stated before, if I enable "Resume By USB Device" then my PC will randomly wake up on its own (I am assuming some background processes associated with any connected USB device triggers this).

Btw, thanks for the quick reply!

EDIT: I used these settings on my last z490 mobo and it worked for me even though I dont have PS\2 devices.

You might have to have to go through device manager with a fine toothed comb and disable certain devices from being permitted to wake up the PC. I don't know how that works together with the BIOS options though, maybe the "Wake Up Events By" has to be set to "OS" for that.

Not sure how to prevent Random USB devices from triggering a restart if wake by USB is now enabled

Also removed for AMD X670 series still on the X570 though could be as they removed the PS-2 port from the mother board
600 series chipset and up dont seem to have PS-2 any more

500 series Chipset boads had PS-2

My PC does not awake by its own with "Resume by USB Device" option enabled... seems to me your bios is bugged or something you just have plugged in is doing this.

I'm on a B650 AM5 motherboard though, and it awakes correctly when pressing the mouse button. I have an K70 Keyboard and a Razer Deathadder V2 mouse, a printer and also a Xbox Controller that is plugged in the monitor's USB ports.

As @citay suggested, I went through every single item in the device manager and for every item that had a "power management" tab I turned off "allow this device to wake up the computer".

I narrowed my mouse and keyboard down to the only two devices listed under "Mice and other pointing devices".

For some reason there are four "HID Keyboard Device" listed under Keyboards... but I have no idea what these are.
Other than my mouse and keyboard, I have 3 other USB devices connected. One is a USB-C cable I only use for charging my work headphones, another keeps my Xbox controller connected to the PC, and the other is for my SteelSeries DAC.

Hopefully my PC doesn't wake up on its own anymore since the only thing I kept for waking up my PC is my wireless mouse, which I switch off every night.

Not sure why my mouse and keyboard don't show up properly identified by name in the device manager... not sure if Windows just doesn't have a way to properly identify them or if the device themselves don't have a way to communicate this to Windows.
