The fixed expression many a/an is more formal than the single word many, and it is much less common. Many a/an is used mainly in literary writing and newspapers.

Examples:
It remained a mystery for many a year [= for many years].
I've been there many a time. [= many times].
Many a politician has promised to make changes. [Politician and has are singular].
Examples:
