Copy the mobi from the book folder to the desktop (just in case). Run MobiEditor and browse to the mobi on the desktop, if it shows a Contributor with something like "calibre (1.37) [http://calibre-ebook.com]" you have the answer.

BTW that site was the second item in Google Search for "change mobi metadata"

It would be easier to load the ePub into Calibre's eBook editor and look in the OPF. But mind that some eBooks (ePub & Mobi) were made with Calibre and the presence of a Calibre string does not mean that it's not the original. So looking for the Calibre string is not 100% fool proof.
