New iPhone keeps asking me for Apple ID password for unknown to me apple ids.

I have bought a new iPhone SE via online apple store. During phone initialisation I used my previous iPhone and chose an option to use iCloud backup and now the new phone keeps asking me for Apple ID passwords for a set of unknown to me emails.

My previous iPhone is still working fine using my Apple ID, while new one is logged in with my Apple ID according to settings but still asks for password to other ids.

What the problem is about and how to fix it?

iPhone SE, iOS 13

It is not Activation Lock, I was able to login to the new iPhone with my Apple ID.

It's just it keeps showing me the message "Please enter Apple ID password for 'some_email@domain.com'". When I click cancel below the message, it asks me for password to another email (about 10 emails in total, none of them are familiar to me, random names and domains).

I clicked Cancel button tens of times and now it stopped asking me for those passwords, but I'm not sure what the problem is about and is it safe to use the phone.
