You can use the instructions in this IBM Technote to disable MSL checking (you'll need to substitute v70 for v80 in the property name). I must also point out that you're trying to install a version of WAS that goes out of service in 5 months. You may instead want to invest in installation of a more modern version of WAS like v9.
