RE: 89^8 , electronical computer defeated.
No I can't explain (though: a 48 bit-mantissa probably wasn't uncommon in those days and would explain it), but the final paragraph in the news article does show a signifcant level of, shall we say, mathematical ignorance on the part of the journalist. So perhaps we should not take the rest of the article too seriously either?
