8i is essentially worthless trying to learn any current version of Oracle. Yes you can use it to learn some legacy SQL statements and to create legacy objects such as heap tables, B*Tree indexes, and constraints but that is a small fraction of learning Oracle.
But I must confess I am fascinated by one aspect of your post. If you are just learning 8i why would a file named system02.dbf even catch your attention and what would lead you to care? It wouldn't be an issue for me under any conditions I can think of other than if migrating to a new disk array.
