Assume I get to another (Windows) computer where Cygwin is already installed.
How can I find out which version of Cygwin is currently installed?

This isn't technically correct, right? This gives the version of
cygcheck itself, not the cygwin DLL, which is what was really
being requested.
Instead, use: cygcheck -c cygwin
Or, as I do (and Corinna already suggested): uname -a
or, more quietly: uname -r

Fwiw, from what I've seen, only
cygcheck -c cygwin
gives the full x.y.z-n version.
All other suggestions give only
x.y.z without -n
Small difference, but...

To do a check of all installed packages, the second option is really the
only choice. But if you're just looking for version of the Cygwin DLL,
"uname -r" is an alternative to the first option that is a bit more
UNIXy/Linuxy. As such, it may be preferable if you're checking this in a
script that is meant to be cross-platform.
