Maybe what you want is “guix describe”. For instance, it outputs:
$ guix describe
Generation 8 Sep 09 2024 15:14:29 (current)
guix 056910e

It does not tell how old or up-to-date your system is but it informs you
about your last “guix pull”. It seems a good starts.
About a proper version number, I am not convinced it suits well some
rolling-release. Troll inside. ;-)
