SARS-CoV-1 was not a novel virus, these were lab accidents that happened after the initial outbreak which was unrelated to labs. Obviously, it's not impossible for an outbreak involving a novel virus to happen because of a lab leak but 'completely precedented' doesn't sound quite right - you're equating two fairly different kinds of event.

Marburg virus was a previously unknown virus when it jumped from monkeys and monkey tissue cultures to researchers in three labs in Marburg, Frankfurt, and Belgrade in 1967.
