Probably vulnerable.  RH7 has been unsupported for some time now.  Your
research seems good enough to convince me.

I haven't but this probably isn't an issue really.

Your scripts will almost certainly have issues.  I don't know if apache
will need a recompile but I doubt it.  Recompiling the php modules will
be needed, I imagine.

Hope that's helpful.

I'd suggest if you are going to upgrade just grabbing source RPMs from a
current distro and trying to recompile them.  (May or may not work, but
seems more likely to).
