I guess it must have been immune to Macrovision or other copy-protection schemes.

Not immune, but more accurately not equipped to process macrovsion. All older video tape recorders that predate a certain point where film makers got their panties in a bunch over the possibility of bootleg video tapes ruining their profits did not have circuits to process macrovision. The units that can process macrovision either don't record when one tries to record a macrovision protected signal or record a messed up signal. Where ones that can't process macrovision (Sony refused to add macrovision copy protection processing to their Beta format for longer than most brands/fromats) record the program just fine without being effected by the macrovision signal.
Why bother erasing them....just claim that you don't have a Beta deck and don't know what is on them the new owner will likely just record over them anyway.
