If you're talking about recordings of televised games from the 1970s, only a handful of regular season games survive from that decade, though I think most if not all of the World Series games survive, and just about all of the World Series games. Most of those that do survive are on YouTube; the MLBClassics channel (which I believe is officially sanctioned by MLB) has a good assortment of World Series and playoff games plus some other interesting games, like Tom Seaver's no-hitter and the Yankees-Red Sox one-game playoff, both from 1978. The channel's home page is here, and you can search within it by clicking on the little magnifying glass to the right of "About":

You can also look at their playlists, which groups the videos by categories (World Series, no-hitters and perfect games, etc.):

ClassicMLB11 is another YouTube channel with a lot of games from the 70s, including more regular-season games than MLBClassics:

You can search that channel the same way. I just searched within the channel for "1978", and the only regular-season game I could find from that year is a poor-quality VCR copy of the April 15, 1978 Game of the Week between the Phillies and Cardinals:

They do have most of the playoff and World Series games, and shorter clips of a few other games from the decade, plus radio broadcasts of a few others. I'm pretty sure that's just about all that survives.
