On Marvin Gaye's cut "Mercy Mercy Me" there's this repetitive echoing
"ponk" that sort of sounds like a sonar ping or something. Anyone know
how that sound was created? Seems I may have heard it on other songs
as well.

I am not familiar off the top of my head with the sound you are
referring to, but it wouldn't be a vibraslap would it?

Google: vibraslap

and see if that makes the sound you seek.
