Gee, they are recycling names. Page 4 of http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/mainframe/mainframe_intro.html has a label "705 Data Processing System". It seems to me that the first 705 morphed to 705 Model 3 and then to 7080 or some such progression. I guess IBM ran out of numbers and had to reuse old ones :-)
