I have an iMac on which I just carried out the requested upgrade to 12.6.5 on opening I noticed safari had disappeared and a holder icon replaced it. On clicking the icon I get the message “you can’t open the application safari because this application is not supported on this Mac”.
there were no issue with safari prior to this update.
iMac 21.5″, macOS 11.5
What year model is the iMac?

Sounds like the system updater may have missed the Safari update.
Go to Apple > System Preferences > Software Update and see if the latest Safari Update comes up.
Hmm... that is the latest version of Safari for Monterey.
Another possibility is that some type of AV-ware or a VPN is blocking the use of Safari.
Try starting up in Safe Mode.

Test Safari in Safe Mode, then re-test after a normal restart.
Also keep in mind the macOS has all of the Security required to keep your iMac safe. It does not benefit from third party AV-ware, Cleaning-ware or VPN's.
This is a late 2015 iMac.
I can’t see anything to do with safari on the update, just the 12.6.5.
Go info shows the version of 16.4.1

You can click on the Safari "folder" and get the version? The current version of Safari is in fact 16.4.1.
After updating IMac to 12.6.5 safari disappeared and says it cannot run on this computer
