If true, this is interesting. As a knowledge repository, having an archive of it would be fascinating.
The size seems small to me. Only 80 gigabytes? What happened to all the video and images that Reddit hosts? Not everything is imgur or other sites.
That said, 4.5 million is too much that they are asking. It's only data not IP or trade secrets as far as I know. I think they certainly could get 500k for the deletion. I would hope that they would donate some of that VC pocket change to worthy causes.
