However, I wonder if this "1" really is a sure sign of a correctly recorded card track. Maybe the calculator displays this although no data have been written.

The TI-59 experts here will know more.

Yes, the 1 indicates the card was written in bank 1.

I just recorded a program in bank 2, the result after the recording is 2.

Attached is a picture of two of my cards, with and without arrows.

The top one is non-magnetic. The calculator doesn't do much checking on write, I guess.
