I am currently looking for a 0.5 to 1 Farad/6 to 8volts super-capacitor.

My family collected a lot of spare electronic things in the garage (computers,microwaves, etc.). I would like to search them before I make any unnecessary purchases.
The problem is, all of these products needed to be open up before I could get into the electronics. I would like to know about which products are most likely to contain a .5 to 1 farad/6 to 8 volts super-capacitor.

One of the microwave was easily opened up, but it only contains a 1 microfarad capacitor.

Probably none, supercaps for 6 volt or more a very rare. A 5.5 volt supercap may be used to retain settings or a real time clock in some types of equipment, but settings are often stored in flash memory today and clock is often maintained with a battery, because it can maintain it for longer time than a capacitor.
