> How do you determine that is from the genesis block?

Go to:

https://blockchain.info/en/address/12c6DSiU4Rq3P4ZxziKxzrL5L...

Scroll down to the bottom, where you will see:

https://blockchain.info/tx/0e3e2357e806b6cdb1f70b54c3a3a17b6...

That is the genesis block.

(Well, OK, that's the transaction contained in the genesis block. The Genesis block itself is https://blockchain.info/block-index/14850)

> Also how do you know it is Sataoshi's?

Because he was the only one mining when bitcoin launched.

The genesis block is actually block 0, you're looking at block 1.

Incidentally, the genesis block reward is unspendable. It's not really known if that was intentional or a bug in the initial implementation, but the rule persists.
