We are fighting golems in our high level game and the question has come up as to whether or not the plethora of unique spell-like blasting abilities granted by spellcasting classes (such as the evoker's force missile or the elemental sorcerer's elemental ray) have SR yes, or SR no.
None of the abilities are ones like them, such as above sorcerer's elemental blast ability, simply don't say whether one needs to check them against SR.

If they are noted as spell-like, they are affected by SR. IF they are supernatural, they are not. See the table on this page of the PRD.
Most of them seem to be denoted as spell-like.
There are many spell-like abilities that duplicate spells without spell resistance. Do those have to bypass spell resistance too, just because they are spell-like abilities? I think not.
I still think it needs clarification, though your linked rules does provide a good basis to start from.

EDIT: It stand to reason if a SLA specifically duplicates a spell that is SR: No, then the SLA would function as SR:No as well.
The SR chapter also has guidelines when SR applies should the effect be a SLA without direct spell analog.
