Best Answer
You're in a search screen and it's currently listing all of the files on "This Mac" (your Mac). It's literally (not figuratively) every single one of your files listed alphabetically in a search window; it's nothing harmful.
Just close out of the search and you'll be fine. You might want to take a quick read of the Apple document, Get to know the Finder on your Mac.
