My mom never used that function because of the very high heat used to essentially bake stuff off the oven wall.

She’s exactly correct. It isn’t uncommon for self clean to hit and maintain 600-1000 degrees. Especially bad considering the controls are always at the top and heat rises. On a unit like this, maybe a thermal fuse would blow rather than anything horrendous - but I’m not on the repair side as much. Others would likely know more regarding that.
