You could just change that to
self.real_name = internalname.upper()
which would set the initial real_name of the list to all upper case and
the subject_prefix would follow.

The internal_name should be all lower case. I'm not certain, but I
think lots would break if it weren't. The real_name can be changed via
the web admin interface and can be anything at all as long as it
differsd from the internal_name only by case, i.e., any combination of
letters of the internal_name can be upper-cased for the real_name.

I don't think so.
