Getty has alleged that Stable Diffusion is sometimes returning some of their copyright images[1]. Even if the model seems too small to directly store the images, it seems at least plausible to me that the parameters can act as a compression such that the model could just output an almost direct copy of an original. I have certainly seen stable diffusion emit images which look like a getty watermark has just been blurred out.

So it sometimes can return that. This is why it's important to clean up the training dataset. To remove duplicates, images containing watermarks, images that are too similar to each other and so on.
