Yes, maybe, but probably not.

This is not the most common way of describing matters and the term "static magnet" does not have a defined meaning and established usage, so one can not know the meaning when there is no context. The other similar phase is "static magnetic field."

One often uses the phase "static magnetic field" to refer to a magnetic field that does not change for a period of time. The source of that magnetic field can be anything and need not be a permanent magnet. The typical solenoid is designed to produce a magnetic field which is typically of fixed strength for a period of time. Such a field arises in an electromagnetic and not a permanent magnet, but is nonetheless a "static magnetic field."
