I remember that Battlestar Galactica was on a par with Star Wars back when I was a wee boy. I loved both of those stories. Your mention of the disclaimer reminds me of another tv show I also remember watching back then that was only on for about 2 seasons in the late 1970's called "Project U.F.O.". It was based on the Project Blue Book investigations of the 1950's and 1960's.Not meaning to be off-topic with this. Many months ago I started watching old tv shows that I used to watch as a kid. I had the idea that perhaps I could find something in those shows that stood out as perhaps having a positive or negative effect thoughout my life. I'm slowly working through the 'Big 5' so it's related to this idea a bit. Anyway, one of the big shows for me was the original Battlestar Galactica from 1978 (there were several things in the series that were helpful for me, btw). The 'follow-up' series, Battlestar Galactica 1980' was a much diminished series in every way. The 'Caprican's' (I guess) in the series finally find Earth and start to interact with the 'native population'. After a few episodes, a disclaimer started to show up at the end which does not show up anywhere else in the series except when 'aliens' are on Earth.
After seeing this (two days ago), I had a very, very vague memory of asking my dad what this meant when I was a kid. I don't remember his answer, but I remember more of a feeling now, of thinking that this was a weird thing to put at the end of a show. It certainly breaks the 'forth wall' of a sci-fi/fantasy production.
