Neither of those are correct. The SNES outputs pixel aspect ratio of 8:7 on a NTSC TV, which is not the same as the 8:7 display aspect ratio that you have shown in the OP image that has a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio. The overscan is cropped on most TVs so it fills the 4:3 frame.

This article is mainly about the NES, but much of what's stated here applies to the SNES PPU as well. The given pixel clock results in exactly 8:7 PAR on a NTSC display.

We've been over this already. 8:7 and 4:3 Display Aspect Ratios are both wrong for SNES. NTSC NES and SNES outputs with an 8:7 Pixel Aspect Ratio (1.14:1) on a 4:3 CRT due to how overscan works.
