I don't have stats currently, but there is certainly overlap.

Lack of inclusion in SBL can and probably should be a flag
to check for FPs, but there are spam domains, especially
new ones, that sometimes don't match SBL, for example due
to using a new name server or hosting IP space.

SBL inclusion or non-inclusion is definitely a useful spam
versus ham heuristic however.
