We don't know what Java SE release ACC_SUPER will be dropped.  If `AccessFlag` API is added in Java 20 and `ACC_SUPER` is dropped in the same release, then you are right and this constant will never be defined.

Anyway, I'm ok either the javadoc and `ACC_SUPER` is removed from this file or just keep it with an api note.
