1. **State the problem:**
The grocer buys 620 kg of onions, correct to the nearest 20 kg, and packs them into bags each containing 5 kg of onions, correct to the nearest 1 kg. We need to calculate the upper bound for the number of bags.
2. **Understanding bounds:**
- Since the total weight is correct to the nearest 20 kg, the maximum possible weight (upper bound) is $$620 + 10 = 630$$ kg.
- Since each bag's weight is correct to the nearest 1 kg, the minimum possible weight per bag (lower bound) is $$5 - 0.5 = 4.5$$ kg.
3. **Formula for upper bound of number of bags:**
$$\text{Upper bound of number of bags} = \frac{\text{Upper bound of total weight}}{\text{Lower bound of weight per bag}}$$
4. **Calculate upper bound:**
$$\frac{630}{4.5} = 140$$
5. **Interpretation:**
The upper bound for the number of bags is 140.
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{140}$$
