The tape is used to block a "record override switch" so the cassette can be recorded on (over) again. Remove the tape and it will prevent you from recording over what ever is on the tape inside now.

What is sqpd?
SQPD is a feature that was added to standard VHS video players to allow them to play Super VHS tapes. You don't get the higher resolution of S-VHS, but at least you can view those tapes. Of course, an SPQD machine can only record in the standard VHS format, not S-VHS. SQPD tape decks cost less than S-VHS decks, but that would seem to offer only a marginal incentive to buy one. People who would want to view S-VHS tapes would likely also want to record them and would probably be willing to pay the extra cost to buy a true S-VHS machine. There weren't many pre-recorded S-VHS tapes sold. Beside, why would you buy an expensive pre-recorded S-VHS tape to play on your SQPD machine when you couldn't watch the tape in it's native higher resolution?
