When I was on the college news paper we used (sic) to indicate that the grammar or spelling error was either intentional or was how the person being interviewed actually said something.
The editor would normally make sure that the error was either necessary for the story or the quote was properly attributed before removing the notation (sic) and putting the paper to bed.
It was also used in transcribing letters to the editor for the same reason and in the same way.
