It is for a Watch class action settlement. The prepaid Mastercard probably has about $25 on it and there is no need to provide any personal information to view the card details. You do not need to enter your Apple Account/Password at all. The link provided in the email contains all the necessary information to view the card or sometimes they include a code number to enter when visiting the redemption site. I have found it best to manually add the card to your Wallet app where you can use it for tap to pay purchases after getting the card details. Usually they want you to download an app to add the card to your Wallet, but that is not necessary.

According to users asking about the exact same message on Reddit, it's real.

Click through the questions it asks and read them carefully. If at any point it asks for personal information they have no business asking for (Social Security, bank account passwords), or you have to pony up some fee, walk away.

You can contact the Administrators if you wish:

Most received a prepaid card that can be spent any way you wish with just the card number, cvv number, and expiration date provided to you without any name verification. If you took the check option for payment, then you may need to contact the administrators.
