Safari icon on dock not right

After system update to macOS 10.5.7 on MacBook Pro, the Safari icon in the dock changed to what looks like a word processing icon with a wooden A. I can open Safari ok - does it matter?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

If it works, it doesn't matter. I've seen one or two other reports of the same thing. If you want to fix it (no guarantee as I can't test it), try the following:

Remove it from the Dock by dragging it off of the Dock.

Then add it back by opening a Finder window, use the Finder "Go" menu to go to the Applications folder and then drag Safari back to the Dock.
