This page:
https://www.45cat.com/record/479140
...has a scan of the record label for the song "Somebody to Love" by 
Jefferson Airplane (not the one by Queen).  The RCA Victor label has a 
line of text running around the bottom.  In that line of text, the 
symbol "®" is on the baseline.  Had it been superscripted, it would look 
funny.  But it would not change the semantic.  Clicking on the scan on 
that page will enlarge it.

(Record labels frequently use the symbol ℗ and sometimes use the symbols 
© and ®.  Generally these symbols are similarly sized and on the baseline.)
