Additional comments
Just wanted to report this, not sure if its something urgent or not, but I'd like to learn if there is a way to fix that?
Thanks for the reply.
Is there a way to learn what extension it could be?
Or (since I don't install much extensions to Joomla) is there a quick way to list all the extensions that I've installed in the ACP?
Through Extension Manager. The extension is System - Canonical plugin (could be named differently). If update isn't available, you can solve this issue by changing plgSystemCanonical on line 17 in plugins/system/canonical/canonical.php to __construct. Though if the plugin is not maintained anymore, more issues could pop up in the future.

Okay, I found the plugin and it's called: System - Canonical -- but I don't recall if I was the one that installed that -- unless it came bundled with something else?
Is this something that belongs to Joomla? I wonder? So if it is a Joomla plugin that may have been there since an older Joomla version, would it be best to remove it or disable it? I mean who would I report this to?

Oh, here is more info about it, next to that file I found a XML file with the developer's info:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <extension version="3.1" type="plugin" group="system" method="upgrade"> <name>System - Canonical</name> <author>StyleWare</author> <creationDate>2015-12-01</creationDate> <copyright>Copyright (C) 2010 - 2015 StyleWare.EU.

That us a notice from an extension that you have installed. You should contact the developer of that extension to see if they have an update etc.
