In other words, it gives a clue as to what classification system was the
origin of the content of <subject>.

No, quite orthogonal to PSIs. All this records is its "classification"
in a known system.
For a topic map that mapped PSIs, we would have an entry for the
association between Jeremiah and Versions (recessions or some such), and
then have the various "subjects" from different catalogs shown as
occurrences of that association.
Does that help?
Hope you are having a great day!
