the sbn of nine digits including checksum digit is arithmetically equivalent to the isbn of ten digits which was derived from it by prefixing with a ''0'' when the isbn system was developed from the sbn system, and is compatible with it.
there is no known reason to exclude sbns from the isbn10 field as the prepending of a ''0'' has no effect upon the calculation of the checksum digit, so the sbn is compatible with the isbn10.
notes section: this book does not bear an ssn, and this should be deleted.
edit 22:30: instead ssn has been changed to sbn; but it is still incorrect and should still be deleted
edit 13/12/23: the figure in the notes: section has now been corrected to the sbn, but is not in bookcat's format for isbn13ses, isbn10ses or, presumably, sbnses, excluding spaces (and dashes).
the sbn has needlessly been removed from the isbn10 field, though it is compatible with the isbn10.
later printings by granada publishing / the granada group are liable to bear the isbn10 derived from the sbn by the prepending of a ''0'', which does not affect aught arithmetically.
