Sort of: it queries musicbrainz, and musicbrainz will proxy the request
to freedb if it doesn't have any matches. This is where your bad data
comes from.
When you hit Submit you'll get a form asking for either album or artist
name, enter one of those and you might find the album you are after (the
only difference being a different CD ID). If that doesn't work, you'll
need to Import from FreeDB and fix the data.

This requires a fair amount of work, and isn't possible with the current
code. When various bits of SJ are rewritten, it might be possible, but
the web service has lots of magic which I'd have to reimplement so its
basically easier to just point the user at the web site.
