Just Noticed Kerberos in Notifications...

I didn't add this, I've never heard of it, but did go and look it up. Is this something Apple added to my MacBook?

It's nothing to worry about as it's part of macOS. Basically an underlying secure technology that allows for storing a single (timed) password that can be used to authenticate multiple network based services such as email, calendaring and scheduling and file services etc amongst other things. It usually comes into play when using a computer (PC or Mac) in a large-ish educational (such as schools and colleges etc) or business environments.
