Apple II in The Thing (1982)
The Apple II is disguised as a "Chess Wizard" computer that MacReady plays, destroying it by pouring a glass of whisky into it after the computer wins the match.
It's a mock up, and there's some unnecessary voice synthesis, but other than that the capabilities of the machine are realistic.
