I'm fairly sure the manufacturers and supermarkets are not in the business of exclusively selling rancid oil.

Sunflower oil has a shelf life of around two years. The turnaround time for oil is fairly high, so the bottles probably haven't been out on a relatively bright shelf for all that long. Check the use by date and as long as you have, say, a year to use the oil, it will almost certainly be fine.
