Negative bias voltage for the 4116 DRAMs, a few dozen mA, IIRC.

(if you have socketed DRAM and..) if you did the pinballer hack of
modding 4164s for use in 4116 sockets (lift out the -5V pin from the
socket, and run a jumper over the top of the chip to the high address
bit are the steps from memory), you might not require -5V at all.  The
schematics are out on zimmers.net and shouldn't take long to verify
that's the only use.
