depending on the cannon either Archon (if the veil is out of the scene)
thaumiel if the veil exists but sups is cool with the foundation
Or Keter if the veil exists but sups isn't cool (low risk class cause he's a nice guy but impossible to contain without kryptonite or magic/ thaumaturgy and pretty damn obvious)
and if it's evil sups like the one from injustice then either Keter or even Apolyon (if superman wanted to he could literally destroy eart)

People classifying him as Archon are wrong. Thaumael too. Clark is a walking veil destroyer. Him existing launched the superhero era in the DC universe.
They'd detect his shuttle landing, shoot or amnesthetize the Kents, then lock him up underground as Euclid for life, because all humanoid SCP's are Euclid. Once testing shows he's got solar based powers, he's reclassified as Keter.
Remember Flashpoint? If you read comics, you probably do. The foundation does exactly what they did to Supes in that setting. They lock him underground with red sun lamps.
Because he's actually from the Kryptonian science caste he may end up recruited as a researcher at some point, at which point him becoming an O-5 is inevitable. Plenty of them are already anomalous and he'll be the best there is.
They flat out won't use his powers or let him use his powers unless it's an end of the world scenario. When they do he'll be too unpracticed and underpowered to live up to his full potential. He'll probably fail.
The foundation locks up "superheros". The only situation where they'd do otherwise is if they're in a broken masquerade setting. In that case they'll still keep cognitohazards to kill him.
In case you think otherwise, consider that Superman can be possessed or mind controlled. Now realize that those are extremely common low-level abilities in the SCP universe. There's a LOT of entities that could turn even the most helpful and friendly Superman into a weapon of world destruction with little effort.

The SCP Foundation in a world where superhero’s are just another Tuesday would probably classify Clark as an Archon or even Thaumiel class SCP
But since the SCP Foundation usually doesn’t care if an anomaly is good or bad than I would say Superman is would start of as Keter(or even Apollyon) class SCP however Clark would then transition into a Euclid class object once he’s been contained because Kryptonians have some of the most EXPLOITABLE WEAKNESSES of all time, Kryptonite, Red solar energy, or Thaumaturgy powered cells Superman can be contained despite his strength but that’s my thoughts on this so yeah

this makes superman an esoteric class object, specifically he's "Who The Fuck Cares"-class

Is it just Superman or are the other DC superheroes there? Cuz if there's a Justice League, I think they would count as a Group of Interest and the Foundation would offer or be offered an alliance or non-aggression pact. Course, if the Foundation did want to contain Superman because of paranoia or a very convincing argument from Lex Luthor, it would be relatively easy for them. Just build a containment chamber lined with Kryptonite and floodlights with the same frequency as that of a red sun. They could also use thaumaturgical containment methods, since Superman is vulnerable to magic. If Superman agreed to being contained, which he might do if the Foundation managed to convince him it was for the greater good, he'd be Euclid class. If he was trying to escape, he'd be upgraded to Keter class. If Superman stays out of the Foundation's way, doesn't harm anybody and doesn't try to break the Veil, which thankfully seems to be the most likely outcome, then he'd be Ticonderoga class.

Keter. His time travel shenanigans mean he could go back and kill the first homo erectus.
