For some reason, for several files in a project the only batch task available is "Export files", which is pretty useless when I want to finalize the translation. (I can't tell any difference between the files that have all relevant batch tasks available and those with only Export files.)

The fact that only Export is available may mean that the file has been already finalized. Click that file and see if the Revert to SDLXLIFF icon turns active. If so, the file is finalized. And if you want to finalize all project files, you can go to the Projects view, click the project and run Finalize from the Batch Tasks menu. This would finalize all the files within that project.
If you want to finalize selected files, then just click the files that are not finalized yet (the Revert to SDLXLIFF icon greyed-out) with Ctrl key kept down and run Finalize from the Batch Tasks menu.
Btw, why do you need to finalize your projects? I can't remember that I ever did it.
Unfortunately there is no way to distinguish between the finalized and unfinalized files (or I am not aware of that) other than by referring to the Revert to SDLXLIFF icon status.
I have described how to finalize all files in one go above (run Finalize against the project). To unfinalize all you can select all files (Ctrl+A) and click Revert to SDLXLIFF. However, you would not be able to do that when you have both finalized and unfinalized files in your project. In this case, you have to finalize all first, and only then use Ctrl+A to unfinalize all.
Thanks a lot, Stepan and Jerzy! This explains a lot about the batch tasks (some aspects of which I obviously had overlooked).
