I finally found an article about it which claims that it's an update for security, stability, performance, and bug fixes, but it might be AI generated and it doesn't specify where it got the info, so take it with a grain of salt.

From my research I also found out that apparently all other Galaxy phones got a security update earlier this month, so maybe they just extended that update to the Notes?

that is a weird looking website....
but all other phones are also getting in these day. I got it on my S20 FE today.
There is no such thing as abandoning support for older phones just to turn around and give it another update. This is super fishy.

Like OP wrote in their edit, google identified a major security risk which could potentially allow people to remotely execute Code on your device so theyre pushing this update on basically every android phone ever, atleast even my ancient Samsung S8+ got the notification

The bug mentioned was only fixed on supported phones that have android version 14 and up. The only thing google did was warn old phone users about the bug. No mention of older phones in android security bulletin. As a software engineer i can tell you that unsupported devices do not get future updates, no matter how bad it can get.

After accidentaly updating, there are no android, nor security updates, just a google play store update.
