When I was around 10yrs old I had a 1979 Apple ][e and a walkie-talkie. I used to write programs in Basic and I discoverd that when I left the walkie talkie on it would pick up frequencies from the computer, especially when I listed out the code

On some machines, especially the early TRS-80 macines that had no sound, putting an AM Radio next to the device was an accepted way of getting sound because, as you discovered, the internal RF would modulate the receiver.
I think it's "The Creative TRS-80" from Creative Computing Press that had a program that would play Happy Birthday over a radio as a demonstration of how that worked.
