Seems like it’s probably 3-4% generally. It’s a tricky question because methodology is important. Studies that look at
paternity tests show much higher incidence of non paternity, presumably because the self-selected population took the test because they had some doubt.
On the other hand, those with doubts are less-likely to have paternal information included in other genetic studies because they don’t want to know. So those studies show lower rates than what reality probably is.
Takes a lot of meta analysis, but best guess is probably 3-4% for all Americans.
Varies greatly by other demographic factors.

I’ve seen a couple stories online but I don’t think the genetic siblings thing is accurate. Not all the exact same gene

There’s variation in the specific variable genetic material that any child receives from one parent vs another. So even
