Stable diffusion (or any likelihood-based generative model) is a learned compression algorithm. It is not the "container of compressed bytes". You can use a trained generative model to compress images, by combining it with some kind of entropy coding / arithmetic coding.

In this sense, stable diffusion is more analogous to the JPEG algorithm than it is to a specific collection of JPEG files. As it stands, the originals trainng data is not stored, even in a compressed way.
