I always found the funniest occurrence of this was in the Civ game though it seems it originally being a bug is disputed.

The bug never existed at all in Civ 1. It was an urban legend all along. Similar behavior was intentional in Civ 5 as a joke, which convinced everyone that it really did happen in Civ 1 when it never did.

It's the result of people repeating what they read on the Internet, not what they personally experienced.

This happens way too often

You're not wrong; but fyi it only happens in your originating universe. Over here we all experienced it.

People being lied to is not the Mandela effect. The Mandela effect is about things you personally remember.

A Mandela effect here would be if the explanations themselves that talked about overflow never existed.
