To find the coefficient of the term of degree 7 in the polynomial

\[
2x^6 + 2 - 4x^2 + 5x^7 - 4x,
\]

we start by identifying the terms in the polynomial. The terms are:

- \(2x^6\) (degree 6)
- \(2\) (degree 0)
- \(-4x^2\) (degree 2)
- \(5x^7\) (degree 7)
- \(-4x\) (degree 1)

Out of these terms, the only term that has degree 7 is \(5x^7\).

Since we are looking for the coefficient of the term of degree 7, we find that the coefficient of \(5x^7\) is \(5\).

Thus, the coefficient of the term of degree 7 in the polynomial is

\[
\boxed{5}.
\]
