Below is an example of SO-like quote block, you can find the configuration by inspecting the styles of blockquote in SO.

#+BEGIN_EXPORT html
<style>
blockquote {
    margin-bottom: 10px;

    background-color: #FFF8DC;
    border-left: 2px solid #ffeb8e;
    border-left-color: rgb(255, 228, 102);
    display: block;
    margin-block-start: 1em;
    margin-block-end: 1em;
    margin-inline-start: 40px;
    margin-inline-end: 40px;
}
</style>
#+END_EXPORT

#+BEGIN_QUOTE

#+END_QUOTE

It renders like
