Tried one of my old prc files off the original Baen CD no problems.
Just because your books were fine, does not mean another book wasn't.
Some files are outliers, and have weird oddnesses that calibre doesn't expect. If another application can read them, it is worth seeing if calibre can figure out how to read them as well.

Now, calibre has a long history, and the chances of such a book are low. Not completely impossible though, and @MontyJ has stated the same files do open in FBReader.
