SLAAC is only supposed to be performed if the RA's M flag is not set. I don't think I've ever seen an ISP offering IPv6 without setting the M flag. When the M flag is set, the client is expected to use DHCPv6 instead of SLAAC.

Do you mean these RAs do not contain any valid prefix?

Correct, they do not contain a prefix and set the M flag.
