Could this be the camera you're thinking of?

yes. that is the one.
did they ever make any more?

Yes they did. The same camera was sold also as Topcon Uni and Unirex (and
maybe other names as well).
The main claim to fame was the Topcon Super D (or RE Super in some
markets) - a well specified camera with the first TTL metering (although in
some markets Alpa was first). IIRC the US Navy
Flash is in excellent condition, with original packaging but now surplus to
requirements.
It has no external sensor so it works with newer pentaxes only. Contrary to
manufacturer´s claims seems to cover even 24 mm field of view fairly well.
Price 25 euros plus postage. Will ship worldwide.

Have them print the negative it upside down.
If the stripe is still there, you have a problem.
My bet is it's in the printing...

Is there any software out there that will read EXIF information and
allow you to sort/organize your images based on this info? I'd like to
be able to group my images by ISO setting, for example.

In beautiful condition, but I need to thin out the collection a bit
and improve the finances ...
For sale: Pentax MZ-5n (chrome), EX+ condition, includes manual, box,
all covers, and FG battery grip, too. This camera was once a bit
dusty, so I had Pentax service it a year ago. Works perfectly.
I finally, finally found an A series 35mm f/2 lens on eBay, so I'm
putting my M series one up for sale.
I originally purchased it in bargain condition from KEH, which as
usual means the glass is beautiful and there's only a bit of visible
external wear on the sharp edges of the lens barrel
Anyone have one of those Takumar 50mm/1.5's in their collection. Probably even
rarer than the Pentax-A 35/1.4 that everyone says does not exist, but that I
have held in my hands (it was in a photo store about '92-'93 $1000 mint/used).
It may have been a prototype that escaped captivity somehow.
