The code almost exactly reproduces the code of get_the_author_posts_link():

add_filter( 'the_author_posts_link', 'filter_the_author_posts_link' );

function filter_the_author_posts_link( $link ) {
	global $authordata;

	if ( ! is_object( $authordata ) ) {
		return;
	}

	$link = sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="author">Other posts by the author: %3$s</a>',
		esc_url( get_author_posts_url( $authordata->ID, $authordata->user_nicename ) ),
		esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'Posts by %s' ), get_the_author() ) ),
		get_the_author()
	);

	return $link;
}
