Pretty common....
And it's not S mount. This lens is originally a proprietary bayonet mount and usually paired with the Canon 7, 7s or 7sZ. Some users have converted it to M mount, often with disastrous results due to the hack jobs (or often referred to as "permanent/destructive" conversions). However, there are a few good conversions options around.
In any case, it's a nice lens.

This lens is developed as one of the standard lenses for the Canon 7 rangefinder camera. It had the largest aperture in the world for photographic lenses available in the market at the time. It attracts a great deal of attention as a "dream lens", as it is four times faster than the human eye. The lens mount is clip-on, 3-lug bayonet system like the Mirror Box II (cameras have S mount inside bayonet mount). The edge of the rearmost lens element is cut off to avoid friction with interlocking roller of range finder mechanism. It is Gauss type lens with 7 elements in 5 groups.

Regrettably, the Canon Museum site is badly translated from Japanese.
The S lenses referred to on the site are for "Screwing lens", a term common used in Japanese literature. Hence the S designation is for the lens type, not the mount type. In the English world, we refer to them as Screw Mount (SM), or Leica Thread Mount (LTM). Occasionally, marked as M39 or L39 lenses depending of which part of the world you are from.
The S mount inside the mirror box (indicated on the site) is basically a hybrid mount used on the mirror box and on the Canon 7; - The standard screw mount (S Mount) with 3 extra claws for the bayonet to catch on. Hence the perpetual confusion for new users to the system.
Officially, Nikon is the only system using the S mount.
And for those interested, there is also the J mount.
