Rumour has it that it was due to supply shortages and they had to do something quickly, which led to the birth of chips like 7712 - supposedly notorious for their reliability. Do we know anything more about those chips? Some datasheets?

Never seen any, but the numbers suggest HMOS-I as the process used. 
There were also a few 87xx, meaning HMOS-II.

Here's the list of all that I have seen so far and what they can be 
replaced with:


7707   7406 or 74LS06
7708   74LS257
7709   74LS258
7710   74LS138
7711   74LS139
7712   74LS08
7713   74LS04
7714   74LS02
7715   74LS373
65245  74LS245 (found in VIC-20)
8708   74LS257
8712   74LS08
8713   74LS04

As for reliability... They did work, but it seems they don't age well. 
But that's OK after more than 30 years.
