Quoting from the datasheet: 8-pin mini DIP all purpose noise injector. ;)
One can put them perhaps in a "Grungelizer" or "LoFi-enizer" effect module.
They are OK, if you use them with reduced bandwidth, I once used 741 in a
poweramp and it was noisy as hell, until I reduced the bandwidth to some
7-8 kHz, (I used this amp to drive a 15" speaker)
