My best guess is it was a programmable calculator similar to the TI-58 
I picked up at Value Village a while back.  Has an actual ROM module 
that can be replaced with another module and is loaded with programs 
for statistical stuff, and other functions...  Even has a Hi-Lo game 
and a blackjack game...

I paid about $1.50 for it, but back then, it would have been quite 
pricey, probably like the fancy graphing calculators available today.
