Yes I have one but not the manual unfortunately. I just have the Japanese PC-1300 Application manual with 310 pages of programs.
Regarding the programming of PC-1300/S the best reference I've found so far is an article written in 2013 by Kiyoshi Akima and referenced here .

There is a picture in the article from Kiyoshi showing the PC-1300S next to an HP-19C and an HP 15+.

Here is the family picture showing the first calculator with a magnetic card reader from HP, TI, Casio and Sharp (for the the Japanese ones it was also the last one):
