Couldn't tell you without seeing the inside, but the shell and label look authentic enough, that is fairly easy to fake though.
That's kind of a good sign too, lol. If they were regular philips screws you would know right away that something was not right.

These are official NES cartridges released for the Asian market, particularly Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia. It's not-so easy to find them nowadays and are quite rare, and to my knowledge, no such clones of these carts were made, so they should be original. Original carts always have the usual security screws, and if it were cross-head Philips like the above person stated, then that's a telltale sign that something is up.
If you have an NES manufactured outside of Asia, you will need to disable the CIC lockout chip on the console; there is one such guide on ConsoleMods on how to do this: https://consolemods.org/wiki/NES:Disabling_CIC_Chip

Nice pickup, buddy. For that price, who cares if it's authentic? Still a cool piece for your collection. Play it and have fun!
