Update: This is what a similar outlet looks like in another room. As you can see, the outlet box is so dfferent from the new ones that it's no help.
I did speak to my electrician uncle who said exactly what I did: white to silver, black to bronze, break off the tab between the bronze.
And what happened? One outlet is dead (seemingly the switched one as the other is always hot).
I have no fucking clue what is going on here.
