There is not an official package of OpenJDK 7 built for stretch.
However, you have several options:

 - take the openjdk-7 source package from jessie and rebuild it on
   stretch
 - download the openjdk-7 binary packages from jessie and attempt to
   install them on stretch (this may require also downloading and
   installing other packages to satisfy dependencies; it might work
   better by using "apt pinning")
 - continue running jessie
 - download the binary Oracle JDK 7 from the Oracle download site (may
   require a support contract with Oracle, or you might be able to
   obtain a several years old version from the archive site)
 - consider using one of the forks (e.g., Amazon Corretto) that has a
   supporting organization behind it

Keep in mind, though, that OpenJDK 7 is end of life at this point that
that using it for public Internet-facing services or other untrusted
environments will become increasingly less safe as new vulnerabilities
are discovered.

This kind of question is more suitable in one of the user forums, e.g. 
debian-u...@lists.debian.org - more details at 
https://www.debian.org/contact#installuse

Answer is no - more details e.g. at https://packages.debian.org/openjdk


Kind regards,
