There is a date reference to the 5000 SE as being a 1978 model:
SX 70
Camera Museum, Netherlands

The SE may stand for 'special edition' as opposed to 'second edition' ?

I seem to recall that the shaking of Polaroids stems back to the original 'peel apart' film, which after separating the negative from the positive, left the print still wet from the reagent gel, and the shaking helped speed up the drying process by exposing the reagent to moving air. In comparison, modern instant film is all self-contained.

Good point on the SE - I gues I was a little too indoctrinated by Windows 98 SE!

Hopefully we'll be able to confirm the photo query soon!
