There was a plain ShareAlike license in version 1.0:

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/sa/1.0/

That said, I would just recommend using the 3.0 BY-SA, and stating
explicitly that you don't require any attribution. The attribution
clause is written in such a way that if you don't ask for a credit, the
licensee isn't required to provide one. They will, however, still be
required to retain the CC notice and to license any derivative works
using the same license.
