To be fair, the System/360 (which was the first to run the classic OS/360 operating system) was released in '64[1], and was replaced in the '70s by the S/370.
Certainly mainframes were in use prior to the '70s, but the S/360 was the first "classic" mainframe in that it was designed for both business & scientific use[2], and it wasn't until the 70's that they began to become more popular in areas outside their traditional use.
