"The 1971 data (i.e., nominal prices of 75 finished goods) came from the 1971 Sears catalog."

Is that online somewhere?

Not so far as I can tell, though the Internet Archive may have some individual holdings. (There are other Sears collections however.)

Searching author "Sears, Roebuck and Company": <https://archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%22Sears%2C+Roebu...>

1918, for example: <https://archive.org/details/catalog1918sear>

Duke University has an (offline) physical archive, described here:
