What exactly does this symbol represent, and how is it different from a regular PNP transistor?
If it is something more than a basic transistor, how would one model it in a simple circuit simulator?
From page 8 of LM78L05 datasheet

It's a double Collector pnp (the arrow represents the emitter), and can also be interpreted as a current mirror, since it appears to be 2 pnp with shared Emitter and Base.
You can simulate it with 2 transistors, in a mirror configuration.
