I'm not a film history buff, but chances are you won't be able to identify your film reel as anything famous. In fact, Super 8 film was by far within the realm of people who filmed home movies [http://motion.kodak.com/motion/Products/Production/Spotlight_on_Super_8/Super_8mm_History/index.htm]. Think of it like how people had VHS cameras back in the day and all they recorded were birthday parties and family outings.
*EDIT* Yes, here we go. Scherer [http://www.ebay.com/itm/7inch-Scherer-Super-8-Film-Reel-Metal-Blue-Vintage-Canister-/171589146463?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27f382975f] film reel. So way back in the day, people would buy Super 8 film in plastic cartridges. They allowed people to film roughly 3 minutes at a time. They probably had to be mailed in to get developed (maybe there were more local businesses that did it back then) and you would get it back on a reel to view it on your home projector.
Back in my school days we still had access to Super 8mm cameras, most of which had a single-frame exposure button so you could film animation. It was pretty fun to use, but in terms of quality, our Super 8's didn't compare to something like the 16mm Bolex hand-wound camera. Still, I'd be pretty curious to see what you find. It's one thing to look through the reel one frame at a time, but imagine the mystery of threading your reel into a projector and watching history come back to life!
