This address does not appear in the genesis block, where can I confirm it?
It’s a common misunderstanding.
A bunch of explorers show the corresponding P2PKH address when a transaction actually created a P2PK output. The output script in the Genesis Block transaction is Pay to Public Key:

where
0467…1d5f
is an uncompressed public key, see e.g. the "details" view for the transaction on mempool.space. The corresponding P2PKH address to that public key would be 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa
, for example shown for the same output on blockchair.com.reply
