True, in flight is less, but still exists. The point was the design phase for this aircraft. If you research its design you will discover it was one of the first times (1955) that anhidral was specifically used to counter lateral stability.
And yes, all high wings do, that was previous mentioned. It equates to approximately 5 degrees of dihedral versus a low wing. That is why the low wing piper trainers have about 5 degrees more than their high wing cessna buddies.
See, still a decent amount of anhedral, even in flight:
