The earliest other card is Arceus DP50/56 in DP Black Star Promos (2007). That card is named Arceus, while this one is Arceus V. That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 220 HP. Both list the rarity Promo. Kunihiko Yuyama illustrated that card, and Atsushi Furusawa illustrated this one. 30 other cards of Arceus list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Atsushi Furusawa. I count 45 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

SWSH Black Star Promos set binder is where a full SWSH Black Star Promos set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Arceus can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mythical Pokémon, from Sword & Shield on. I still need this card.
