Title: Famicom Calculator

Found this Tiny Cartridge (which is quickly becoming one of my favorite gaming sites).  It's a calculator hidden in a Famicom cart shell.

Those are nice, but unfortunately the size is bigger than a real cart.

I'm not sure, but they are around for quite some time (several years) now.

They came out as prizes in the UFO Crane Catcher games in Japan about 3 years ago, so I'd say 2006.  Of the top of my head they have three version; SMB, Zelda, and Ice Climber.
