PageRank is not an indication of a website's quality. It's an indication of a web page's link popularity. So StackOverflow does not have a PR of 7. It's home page has a PR of 7. If you view StackOverflow's inner pages you will see they have their own PR as they should since every page has PR. Those page's should have a lower PR then the home page as a well constructed website will naturally channel PR to the homepage through internal linking but it is not unheard of to have an inner page with a higher PR then a site's home page. This can happen if a website has a particularly popular article which has attracted a lot of incoming links especially high PR ones.

A PR of 7 is very good and I would say a reasonable PR for StackOverflow's home page to have.
