Yes.  It's the kernel, not the shell.

It's fairly easy to get a copy of the 7th Edition sh.

http://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=V7/usr/src/cmd/sh
is a pristine version.

http://www.collyer.net/who/geoff/v7sh.tar
is something that actually has a chance of compiling and running on some
modern systems.
