Still it can be set to something (variable was not depracated if I understand the page correctly) and potentionally be used by some extensions and/or futher versions of core.
And if the value wasn't depracated, it should be set to working real email address. If it is depracated, it should be removed. No matter what is true, something should be done.
Note that I don't know if noc@wikipedia.org is valid contact. I did not try send a mail to it - as it is "emergency contact" according to the settings, I don't want to spam if it is working (and it can be, as there are mx records).
The question I'm raising is if we accept mail on wikipedia.org and if we do, why we use wikipedia.org instead of wikimedia.org which is more frequent domain for mail and which will make more sense for global setting applicable to literally all projects WMF run.

As I understand, wikipedia.org still technically works as a domain for email, mostly as a holdover from the really old days (I'm talking like 2003). So I think the most likely explanation here is that this field was never updated and there was never a reason to if the address still technically works.

noc@wikipedia.org is a real working address. It is an alias for noc@wikimedia.org and that is an alias for root@ and that is an alias for all people with root on the cluster. You would reach real people there.
