It may have been a custom monospace bitmap font (aka raster font) for video use, possibly based on DIN 1451. Also featured on video displays in 1979's Alien. Something close in feel might be Arial Narrow 7 from Style–7.

Sequence created on an Aston Character Generator from Aston Broadcast Systems available in the UK since the early 1970's. Several units (Aston 1, 2, 3, 4, etc...) were made so it is hard to pinpoint the exact model used by the production but it is likely one made before 1979.
