It's soldered to a C64 mainboard and behaves like a 6526A as far as the 
software goes. The 8520 doesn't have the RTC but a 24Bit timer instead 
as far as I know, so I think you'd notice if you tried to use a 8520 
instead of a 6526. It's not the only board in my posession with a 6526A 
with '206A' markings, but that's the earliest datecode.

5710 if I remember right.
