May be.

I usually see it as an "error".


My case:
    systemd sets sysrq on every boot to /lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf
kernel.sysrq value, which I usually set to 1. But after every systemd
package update I have to edit 50-default.conf again, because somebody
concluded that overwriting /lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf during package
update was the right thing to do. So, occasionally, when I need to do
sysrq all I get is "This sysrq operation is disabled" error. So I swear
a lot, reboot the box, change the sysrq mask and try to reproduce the
problem. /* I became familiar with "sysrq_always_enabled=1" just
            recently. */

"This sysrq operation is disabled" is always bad news and is always not
what I want to see.
