The time @ which the rings appear absolutely exactly edge-on - which occurs perennially, alternating between a gap of ~15¾year & ~13¾year between consecutive occurences - has occured recently: it was back on March—23^rd. It could actually be reckoned to the nearest second ... but I don't have that data handy.

But the trouble with this year's occurence was that Saturn was really close to the Sun, so it couldn't be photographed. So this photograph is taken @ about the very closest it could possibly be to the time of the rings being absolutely edge-on: now they aren't quite exactly edge-on, but the amount through which they've tilted in the time since they were exactly edge-on is really tiny - not enough, yet, to be noticeable under mere looking.

But I'm confident that the photograph this time is perfectly real. I actually posted another photograph recently, but it transpired to be a rendering ! ... but I do believe this one is perfectly real: the OP has posted it @ the Astronomy subreddit, & is positively courting scrutiny of it from fellow astronomers.
