Was "dick" not a moniker for penis back then? Did they really not know...or DID they know and really leaned into it?

It was more common as a name, or nickname, back in the day. But not many people willingly use it anymore because now it primarily means a) penis and b) someone who is a monumental jerk.

I'm sure plenty of people chuckled about it even in the 60's though.
