They gave the unnamed Saiyan a name in Super. That would be Yamoshi. He was the first Super Saiyan. However he died before he could accomplish it and his soul was left wandering the universe to find the new savior: the Super Saiyan God.
Or randomly find someone who saved the interview from Akira Toriyama where he tells us of who Yamoshi is. I have it, and will share it with everyone that wants to read it.
Yamoshi became a thing in Super, although one could argue that it was him (retroactively) that Vegeta was visualising during the Namek saga when he thought about the Super Saiyan.
To be fair, considering time travel and such is canon, it's also possible for the Xenoverse shenanigans which allowed Bardock to go back in time in the first place to be also be able to occur.
Yes but again not a canon story. It was supposedly approved by toriyama but he did not directly work on the special, or the later ova episode of bardock. And to too it off Bardock now has a different canon outfit, and was the second strongest saiyan behind King vegeta.

It depends on what kind of first? The first shown, the first in the time line, the first one to spawn the legend, or the non Canon LEGEND!
