It's not out of continuity -- indeed, one of the issues of John Byrne's series Jack Kirby's Fourth World was dedicated to retelling it. Not to mention the fact that Action Comics #650 reasserts the continuity status of JLofA v.1 #183-5, another story in which Superman encountered Darkseid that would have been set before Superman v.2 #3.
