The official Microsoft sticker that has the Product Key on it for the computer is supposed to be stuck onto the outside of the computer case. If the computer came with it, that's a genuine Product Key on that sticker that will probably NOT be found to have been fraudulently used.
You can use the Product Key on that sticker with a CD that is intended for the SAME version of XP as on that sticker - Home , Pro, or Pro 64 bit, for the same type of license - OEM, retail, or Volume - whether the CD has / had no SP updates, or SPx updates.

If the CD is a copy of a Windows CD, or a 'slipstreamed' CD e.g. which has had the SP3 updates integrated into the original contents of a Windows CD, which version of XP the CD was intended for can be determined by examining a certain file on the CD.
