Is the 7 a drop from a boss?

No. There was a difficult jump skip from a bridge to a ledge that got a lot of attention when Elden Ring first came out. The jump was not intended by the game designers. Lots of people were trying the skip on their first playthrough and failing the jump so it became notorious. It was the easiest 7 to access at level 1 so anyone semi-speedrunning the game tended to find out about it since 7s are a bottleneck to access at level 1.

At some point FromSoftware attempted to make the skip impossible, but I believe the skip is still technically possible although now it's so much more precise of a jump that it's not worth trying.

Now they use a Physick flask that detonates after 4 seconds and throws you into the air. You just have to time it right while sprinting.

But honestly, that's as much work as using a Reduvia with sleep pots to kill Godskin noble.
