My aunt had the same model and it was loaded way more than full with clothes as to not "tax" the septic. She had that for at least 40 years with not a problem. Thats why I bought my Maytags in '84. Cost more than a Kenmore or GE, but they still work like new, and still here. Hers, you could not open the lid more than an inch and it stopped until you closed the lid. I fixed mine on day one to work with the lid open. That slam into spin is the same as hers and mine.

With that stupid lid switch in the old Super, you didnt know if was overloaded because you couldnt see it agitating. I never leave either washer or dryer. But with my lid disabled, Once it starts wash, I check it, spin, make sure its not off balance. Just being anal and its worked for 32 years with no problems.
