No this notifications are a scam. Apple will never send you such notifications.
Please close the notification and don't click it. You might want to check your safari extensions as there can be a malicious extension installed that is sending you these notifications
If you can't determine what an extension does, or you don't expect to use it again, you should uninstall it.
- Choose Safari > Settings (or Preferences), then click Extensions.
- To uninstall an extension, select the extension and click the Uninstall button.
