that's a v6 IP address. you may disable v6 by using the following
directive in sshd_config

   AddressFamily

             Specifies which address family should be used by sshd.
             Valid arguments are “any”, “inet” (use IPv4 only) or
             “inet6” (use IPv6 only).  The default is “any”.

As soneone said earlier, you can also bind it to an interface with the
"ListenAddress" directive:

     ListenAddress

             Specifies the local addresses sshd should listen on. The
             following forms may be used:

                   ListenAddress host|IPv4_addr|IPv6_addr
                   ListenAddress host|IPv4_addr:port
                   ListenAddress [host|IPv6_addr]:port
