Ngnix SSL truststore/ca cert specification

I have a web app on Weblogic server which accepts connection over HTTPS with self signed certificate. Web App on Weblogic server URL https://server1.com:7122/webapp1/

I also have ngnix installed on the same server with a verisign certificate which acts as a frontend to all web apps on the server. Nginx server URL https://server1.com:443/

I want users to access webapp on Weblogic to be accessed via nginx as port 7122 is blocked to access from outside. I added the following rule

    location /webapp1 {
        proxy_pass https://server1.com:7122;
    }

I am able to access all other apps over Nginx however for webapp1 I get the following error

[error] 6680#10132: *147 SSL_do_handshake() failed (SSL: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol) while SSL handshaking to upstream, client: 10.62.144.39, server: server1.com .....

On the nginx server, check whether you get any error with this.

openssl s_client -connect server1.com:7122;

If it works, try proxy_pass without https

proxy_pass http://server1.com:7122;

Since the Weblogic server is only accessible internally, is it necessary to SSL it, because this adds additional SSL overhead having to encrypt & decrypt 2 times.
