Could be... From 1.7.6 to 1.7.9, there were bug fixes ;-)

Also, on Sphinx, they stop maintaining old versions once newer
stable ones are launched. So, any bug on 1.7.x (up to 3.2.x) will
remain unfixed[1].

In any case, could you please check if this patch solves the
issue?

I don't test versions below 2.4 for a while, but I believe that
version 1.3 is still the minimal one for the documentation to be
built (earlier versions don't support some keywords used on a few
documents - and the Sphinx extensions can also break). 

Anyway, Jon is planning to raise the minimal version on Kernel
5.11, dropping some logic inside Documentation/sphinx/*.py that
are there to preserve backward compatibility with Python2 and with
too old versions of the toolchain.

After such changes, we should update changes.rst and sphinx.rst.

[1] On a side note, according with:
    https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/changes.html
    Sphinx v3.3.0 was released today. Didn't test building with it yet.
