That answers the question but not in the most user-friendly way, e.g.:

(where-is-internal 'set-mark-command)
==> ([0] [67108896])

Compare:

(mapcar 'key-description (where-is-internal 'set-mark-command))
==> ("C-@" "C-SPC")

Of course, there's also just `where-is':

M-x where-is RET set-mark-command
==> set-mark-command is on C-@, C-SPC

Oh, the question was about a test, not getting the key bindings.  I
should read more carefully before deciding to reply...

No, not just test, question was meant to be so that it fit to your answer, thanks.

It's not without reason that most of the body of `where-is' is dealing
with the proper formatting of keys, including all remappings. :)
