Unused since the lab which donated it closed 2016 or 2017. Likely it
was unused there for several years. Could be a decade or more since
it last operated.

Ouch. That's a "Combo" drive which can write only CD-R and CD-RW.
With DVD media it can only do reading.
So there is no use buying writable DVDs for it.

I've lost the message but someone mentioned that pushd and popd
suggest the csh shell. My backup procedures are shell functions
rather than scripts and the shell name isn't blatant. Could be in a
comment.

Writing the tar stream to DVD-R is a classical use case of cdrecord or wodim.
