It has the product number codes on the inside where the pin connector is. The Nintendo logo on the back also has a square dot for the "i".
My guess would be fake. It seems to be missing the grey US SNES logo on the front label, unless it's so faded you can't see it anymore, but if so, the rest of the label should probably be a lot less legible too. No back label is also pretty suspicious.
Fyi, what a legit Link to the Past front label looks like

Some repros are made by re-purposing real carts from shovelware games and relabeling and redumping them, so that in itself does not mean it's not fake.

If you want to be sure then you need to take the cart apart since the insides will reveal much more then the outside.

Then, if you have security bits, you could try opening up the cart and check the PCB. Should have the game's year of release and Nintendo imprinted on it. Tho that only really proves it is a genuine Nintendo PCB, not specifically that it's a genuine Link to the Past cart.
