I think you've skipped too far ahead in the man page.
"FD is followed by one of these characters, describing the mode under
which the file is open:
r for read access;
w for write access;
u for read and write access;
space if mode unknown and no lock
character follows;
`-' if mode unknown and lock
character follows.
So u in this case is read/write access, and there's no lock character.
