Version 7 was already repeated with the introduction of UnixWare 7 in 1998. That is a bit less than half-way between the first UNIX v7 and now.

MacOS 7 seems to have been 1991. Though…it wasn't a Unix at that point, was it?

Anyways, it looks like this was my first computing device (provided to the school and used in our "computer lab" (the school stage or cafeteria floor once the stage was repurposed as the library during construction too)) as MacOS 8 doesn't look as familiar.

There's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A/UX, but that was an add-on.
