The formula is correct (for free undamped harmonic oscillator)

One certain Plausibility check may be a consideration of the units. So here at Term under the root the unit m2 remains, then it should not be ground-false.

This formula is true only thenIf this is a linear mechanical oscillator (e.g. a spring pendulum), in which a mass (here the formula character m) moves back and forth.

It is thus not applicable to an electric oscillator (oscillating circuit) or to a rotating oscillator (mechanical clock mechanism).

Ask Wikipedia. There, the relationship between energy and amplitude is also well explained. See Chapter 4.1.3. Energy.
