A friend of mine who is a former DEC employee once told me a war story
about being given a "prototype" terminal to take home. He said the PCBs
were thin, and kind of flexible, like the cardboard sheets in the back of a
tablet of paper, and the thing was very tempermental -- even after you got
it working again the MTBF was in hours. He said he eventually threw the
accursed thing away.
I wonder if this is one of those?

It definitely sounds like one of these, except that the guy said he
used this one for about 6 years. I have posted more pictures of this
odd terminal. The board in the back is warped and kinda flimsy
looking. Check out the pictures:
