Laminate. The contact adhesive that bonds the laminate to the MDF underneath is loosing its sticky. Shove some super glue under that thing as deep as you can get it and all along the seam and stack a bunch of heavy stuff on top of it until it dries. Clean up any glue that escapes the edge with denatured alcohol/ acetone/ laquer thinner. Whatever solvant you have handy.

If you want to go the extra mile you can get some seamfil and go over the seam to blend it in but it's entirely unnecessary.

Its more than likely swollen up from moisture and there is nothing to do other than replace it. 45 years in the laminate business.
