An SKU is assigned to a product for keeping inventory of current and future items in a store. While the listings show a variety of accessories with "Switch 2" next to them, some may express skepticism that these are mislabeled and could be original Nintendo Switch items.
While plausible, note that the predecessor console doesn't support Express MicroSD cards, which is one of the items on the list. It seems to come in various sizes including 256 and 512 GB as per the GameStop SKUs. As such, it is very likely aimed at the next-gen hybrid console.
This new tech in the SD card market promises beyond SATA-level speeds, so it seems apt that a system with modern tech in it would be compatible with them. After all, the system is rumored to be fairly capable, so it will need to keep up with the PS5/Xbox Series X|S games if those are to be ported over.

So what does this all mean? Over the past two months or so, we have seen a steady flow of rumors surrounding this elusive console, but now that listings have been found at a retail store, it's hard to keep ignoring the fact that the debut of the next-gen Nintendo Switch formula is almost upon us.
Fans have been keenly anticipating a launch this month, but with radio silence from Nintendo thus far, all they can do is be patient.
