It's not a Siege Infantry-unit, Siege Infantry is a sort of sub-class of Infantry that are good, or at the least intended to be good versus Buildings, such as Destroyers, and Fire Lancers, they are essentially the border of Human Soldiers to Siege, the the Slinger isn't good versus buildings (being nearly useless against them) The Overview for Siege Inf states: " Siege infantry are a merger of the infantry (or archer) and siege weapon classes as they deal normal damage, and have natural attack bonus against buildings. Siege infantry in  Age of Mythology  deal both hack and crush damage." The AoE Slinger doesn't fit that description at all.

But they are a unique category of their own, i'd say just for consistency call them either Infantry or Archers.
