The last time I did research into this, this was the most concrete real world example I could find, which works out to ~41 bitflips/GiB-month:

> Jaguar had 360 terabytes of main memory [and] was logging ECC errors at a rate of 350 per minute

This is throwing up a soft paywall for me FWIW - I get up to "...couldn’t run more than an hour or so without crashing." and then the article text stops, there's a "become a member" interstitial and then I'm fed with tons of headlines for different articles instead.

Because of the sharp contrast with the interstitial block I thought it was like a footer, and then a skippable/ignorable part of the layout, and spent some time confusedly scrolling up and down thinking the content was past it, then I realized the "Keep Reading" bits were links to other articles... wow what a mess.
