Full quote
Data types in SysML are called value types.
Next snippet
SysML numeric value types can be linked to units, where units are modeled with the SysML Unit block. These units are linked to value types that are generalized by SysML’s numeric value types. Units and their symbols are from ISO 80000.
The above statement in SysPhS-1.1 is not quite accurate. Indeed:
SysML: Although not encouraged, you can still use a DataType to type a Property of a Block, it just won't be listed in the 'values' compartment. Prefer the SysML ValueType versions of primitives!
The main point is:
SysML-1.6: 'SysML defines ValueType as a stereotype of UML DataType to establish a more neutral term for system values that may never be given a concrete data representation.'
SysML-1.6: 'SysML ValueType adds an ability to carry a unit of measure and quantity kind associated with the value.'

Figure 28 shows how a value type with units is defined in SysML, from the units library in Figure 20 [ERROR], Subclause 11.2.2 [ERROR]. It has a value type Force that specializes the Real value type and has newton as unit. The newton unit has a symbol N.
