You buy ISBNs in blocks or individual numbers, and then submit whatever data you want.
There's very little control. E.g I just published a novel,and Amazon did not in any way validate that the ISBN I have them actually belonged to me - I had not yet registered the book data, so what I told them would not have matched anything they might have looked up.
In this case, based on the reviews on Amazon, it looks like someone changed the description of an existing product, and that the ISBN probably actually belongs to a book.
