That's what it sounds like. The tab is presumably a write-protect of some
sort.
Is it bigger than a breadbox?
Is the outer shell made of animal, vegetable, or mineral?
Any connectors?
I'm not sure, but IIRC, the early Gavilan called their memory modules
"Bubble Cartridge", but it was actually just low power static RAM with a
battery in a 2" x 2" x 1" dark gray plastic box with a card edge at one
side and a removal pry lever on top.
