Large blue steal box (looks like it's dating from the 70's) with a
keyboard on the front, a key switch and large red button on the front.

I remember there was a similar named software ("Super BASIC System") for
the Atari ST (I know this is NOT a Z80 system), the predecessor of this
software was made for a Sinclair QL (there was also a Super BASIC).
Are you sure you didn't mix it up with SBASIC ?

Not until you brought it up. A moderate google search had found for
me,
so far, exactly one hit- a Japanese Yahoo! Auction, offering this
system.
Dunno how long this link is good for:

i suggest you look inside the box and try to identify the cards inside
by brand and model number. It's possible this computer was built from
boards from some other company. In any event, a close inspection of
the chips and hardware inside, will provide clues as to how to make
use of this system. Presuming it has a diskette drive, a clever person
could create a version of CP/M 2.2 to run inside it (this being a CP/M
discussion group). Otherwise it presumably has some ROM-based
operating system or monitor. If you have a Web site, you could post
photos and descriptions there; in due course, someone searching the
Web will find *you* and provide some information.
Rule of thumb: the more info you provide, the more others can help
you. More technical information, more technical assistance. Also, you
might say where on the planet you are, most "help" tends to be
"local".
Good luck!
