Long before. It was documented as the preferred Help key on the very
first PC (there's a list of recommended keys in the original Technical
Reference Manual, circa 1981).

But didn't something for the PC use F3? Very hazy memory there... it
wasn't Wordperfect for DOS, was it?

I think it probably was. But they were a law unto themselves.
