when mohammed was around, there was plenty of other books still circulating that the catholics hadn't eradicated yet, there wasn't even an eastern branch of the church at that time
the text was found in dozens of copies in the dead sea scrolls and first reappeared in the 19th century as the ethiopian orthodox church retained it and it was part of their canon
the "trustworthy" modern scholars try to assert that by the dating of the physical scrolls that the book of enoch could not be older than around 2500 years, which was around the same time as daniel and the height of the babylonian empire but it extensively refers to and tells other versions of stuff that you find all through the first 5 books, it has the crossing of the red sea, the back story relating to noah and the great flood, and a big part of the text is specifically addressed to teaching his son methuselah
just read it before you start expressing other people's opinions about it, it's a really interesting read
