It's off by default.

Normally yes, but a change was made some years also to remember your original email address (the one with which you registered and was verified as real at the time) and display that as well. The idea was to slow down account impersonators. You probably haven't changed your email in all those years so that would explain why your profile only shows the modified version.

In anycase, neither your current or original email address will be displayed (except to admins) if you tick "Hide My Email Address".
