I don't even know if you will be able to find a 7spd deraileur. In either.
For street. SS, if you are doing serious riding anyways. Deraileurs aren't the best for a good grind

Thats not a 7 spd. Its 9spd. 7 is just the designation similar to LX or xt type of deal.

You can buy a cheap package deal on a 9speed setup these days. Get a new cassette, rear derailleur and shifters. You can easily keep it under $100. You'll probably want to throw in a new chain too. That'd be about $15 - $20 extra.

It doesnt matter what "speed" the derailleur is as long as it's range of motion can cover all gears. With that said, what shifters do you have?

Well if this helps, I have a 7 speed cassette in which my rear derailleur was replaced due to damage, I asked the shop to put something cheap but decent on, and they gave me a Shimano Altus, it shifts nicely and was very cheap. I use it for some bouncy trail riding action and street use, both I get fine results with for it being such a cheap derailleur. It was like $10 or something. But as for availability, I'm not sure about that, I don't think it's made anymore.

Secondly: Since we're replacing a Altus you'll have to stick to a Shimano derailieur as that's what your shifters are designed to operate. I found this https://tinyurl.com/7eh5p It's a couple steps up, but it won't break the bank at $25
