I'm guessing that each set of numbers are accounts, as are the names. In other words, some accounts are concatenated with '-' (guess). You could use a scalar rather than an array to hold your data and split around [ -] (that's a space OR a hyphen). You might not have that option, so, with minimum alterations to your code:
use warnings;
use strict;

my @account = qw(34765-22333-333489-99867-22340-23456-3229 XLM8876 AMP
+7765 WQP22349);

my @chk_acc = map {split('-')} @account;

foreach my $checked (@chk_acc) 
{
    # chomp();
    if ($checked =~ /^(\w{3})(\d{4,7})/ig)
    {
        # it should print the accounts starting with letters here
        print "*$checked*<br>";
    }
    else {
        # else the rest of the accounts not starting with any letters
        print"-$checked-<br>";
    }
               
}

Update: Your RE is more complex that it need be (unless you are not showing us the whole story):
if ($checked =~ /^\w{3}\d{4,7}/)

should be sufficient (\w includes upper and lowercase characters). However, what if there are more than 7 digits following? This RE would still match, did you mean /^\w{3}\d{4,7}$/?
