Yes, back in my day, it was slang for paging someone, similar to “ring me” for calling.

It’s also a reference to the show. Buffy wanted to go on a date and Giles was all “but epic responsibility!” and she convinced him she can do both and said “if the apocalypse comes, beep me.

It was in a very fall-asleep-worthy episode (1x05 Never Kill a Boy on the First Date).

Warning! season 1 spoilers that don’t matter at all for any plot arcs:

Buffy goes on a date with Owen, then breaks up with him because her life is too dangerous. The “anointed one” is revealed to be a creepy (but awesome) vampire kid. End of episode.
