I don't think Nintendo authored the spec. I'll explain:
>From what I gather, the data in an SPC file is a 64 kb memory dump of
the audio chip on the SNES.
I think that interested persons dumped this memory and then, wanting to
organize and standardize their collections, evolved a small binary
wrapper around it: http://www.snesmusic.org/files/spc_file_format.txt
But I haven't been able to find the history of this file format.
So basically the file is a well documented header of unknown origin
prepended to a RAM dump of a chip.
