Have you taken it apart to KNOW it is not packed?

Yep

Or to KNOW you have a 6202-RS bearing in there?

Yep

The arbor of a table saw has a pair of bearings fitted into
a housing, and the outer faces need to be shielded against
sawdust; that means 'R' rubber seals. The inner, if you ever
are expected to add oil, has to be 'S' or the oil won't get in.

So, -RS bearings might mean that some oil-regularly maintenance
was required. Nowadays there's good evidence that RR with
permanent lube could also work well (especially for a hobbyist who
spins the saw up a few dozen hours a year).
