This is a privately issued novelty or fantasy note, not legal tender. The United States Treasury has never issued a commemorative $5 bearing Amelia Earhart's likeness — no such bill exists within the Federal Reserve Note series. What's being cataloged here is almost certainly a souvenir item produced for the collector or gift market, a category that proliferated sharply after the Women on 20s campaign of the mid-2010s generated public appetite for alternative imagery on American currency.
The watermark security feature on a fantasy note is a marketing flourish, not a compliance measure.
