We consider the class of metrics that can be obtained from those of nonextreme black holes by limiting transitions to the extreme state such that the near-horizon geometry expands into a whole manifold. These metrics include, in particular, the Rindler and Bertotti - Robinson spacetimes. The general formula for the entropy of massless radiation valid either for black-hole or for acceleration horizons is derived. It is argued that, as a black hole horizon in the limit under consideration turns into an acceleration one, the thermodynamic entropy $S_{q}$ of quantum radiation is due to the Unruh effect entirely and $S_{q}=0$ exactly. The contribution to the quasilocal energy from a given curved spacetime is equal to zero and the only nonvanishing term stems from a reference metric. In the variation procedure necessary for the derivation of the general first law, the metric on a horizon surface changes along with the boundary one, and the account for gravitational and matter stresses is an essential ingredient of the first law. This law confirms the property $S_{q}=0$. The quantum-corrected geometry of the Bertotti - Robinson spacetime is found and it is argued that backreaction of quantum fields mimics the effect of the cosmological constant $\Lambda_{eff\text{}}$ and can drastically change the character of spacetime depending on the sign of $\Lambda _{eff}$ --- for instance, turn $AdS_{2}\times S_{2}$ into $dS_{2}\times S_{2}$ or $Rindler_{2}\times S_{2}$. Two latter solutions can be thought of as the quantum versions of the cold and ultracold limits of the Reissner-Nordstrom-de Sitter metric.
