Correct. I'm just wondering if Apple would even care if I were to do something like that, since System 7 is so old.
Yes. You will be sued so fast you won't have time to put everything into your wife's name and divorce her before declaring bankruptcy. It is unlikely Apple would even grant a license. Further, Apple may have lost some rights to certain versions of System 7 and may not even be able to grant a license to it. Bottom line, it is not worth their time, but they absolutely do not consider the copyright abandoned. Your best bet is to distribute it quietly and if you intend to profit from it, do it on a donation basis, having no direct relation to the System 7 packaged product.
