Thanks for the report and the patch.
While your fix is correct, I'd prefer to fix the description
rather than the permission mode, because searching for files
with too wide permissions (022) is a more common use case
than searching for files which are writable by the file's
user and group.

Patch attached.

Have a nice day,
Berny

An example in find.info says


'-perm /022'
     Match files that are writable by either their owner or their
     group.  The files don't have to be writable by both the owner
     and group to be matched; either will do.


I think this is wrong; to match the text, I think the option would have to be '-perm /220'. Other examples nearby are similar. Patch attached.
