Hello.
What is the maximum input voltage for input terminals such as SER and OE?
In the Input clamp current item, it says Vi>VCC+0.5V, but is the idea that VCC (Max) 7V+0.5V=7.5V correct?

The limit always depends on the actual supply voltage.
In practice, the supply voltage will not be 7 V, so in practice, that 7.5 V value does not matter.
The recommended operating conditions do not allow voltages above VCC. What is the actual problem you're trying to solve?
There are clamping diodes to VCC; see [FAQ] Can the input voltage (Vi) to my logic device be higher than the supply voltage (Vcc)?
When you limit the current to something near zero, the forward voltage will no more than 0.5 V (so VCC + 0.5 V is always safe). But for larger currents up to 20 mA, the forward voltage will be higher.
