I think the 10 seconds film was the ASA 3000 rollfilm. It was sold as type 47 and 37 (different film formats). So exposure time could be a problem with the 80a. According to the Landlist website there was a light-seal retrofit set for using it with the ASA 3000 film.
Have a look here:

The info on the film type I got here:
http://www.vintagepolaroids.com/products/land-camera-model-j66-1961
Please not that this is just googled information - I have no experience with Polaroid Rollfilm cameras.
Maybe you can contact the owner of the Landlist website.

My recollection was that the retrofit kit came with special light seals and a neutral density filter for the older cameras. My mom had a "Highlander" back in the day, and she had the kit for it, but I don't remember whether the filter was used all the time, or just for daylight.
