Products of fields are semihereditary. This follows from the facts that products of fields are von Neumann regular and that von Neumann regular rings are semihereditary. A proof can be found (as suggested by David White) in Lam's Lectures on modules and rings, Example 2.32 d).

(In the above, fields and rings are not necessarily commutative.)
