This just appeared at the top of my home page on Facebook. Do you think it's genuine? I am always wary of this type of thing.

Probably fraud. How would Facebook detect that your email address is valid or not, unless they try to contact you and it bounces. If that email address is valid, you are being scammed by a rogue app. If that address is not valid, go into your Facebook Profile and update your email account there. Do not respond to that alert directly, as it is possibly a phishing scam.
