ganseg - It's an NSK bearing: NSK 068 6204DUA17 Japan (The 068 imprint was very tough to read, even with a magnifying glass so I hope that I'm being accurate.)
There appears to be grease on the outside of the seal, but I'm not sure what type. I wiped the bearing down with a paper towel and the grease is a dark reddish/brown color. Definitely darker than engine oil.
The bearing does not smell burnt.
I may disassemble the bearing at some point to look for damage. If I do, I'll post up some more pictures.

Thanks Jake. If you see this type of corrosive damage on the flange, I'm almost afraid to start thinking about what else could possibly be corroded internally. Any areas that you would recommend paying attention to? Please be kind if you can - as I'm finally sleeping better at night.
