Fill it to level and start the engine with some throttle.
The water won't fly out too hard but a fair bit should get pushed out. 1 - 2L
I prefer to test flow by removing a heater hose and starting.

It's not that difficult to remove the water pump. Just need a replacement gasket.

I have seen some REALLY rusty pump impellers...

If you suspect that the pump is not working well then it'd be worth removing to have a look.
