It was discussed on libc-alpha in November 2019.

In practice, the SPARC V7 support had been broken for a long time before 
then (the original patch submission says glibc 2.23 / commit 
b02840bacdefde318d2ad2f920e50785b9b25d69).  So I think the removal was 
similar in spirit to the removal of support for the original i386 (de 
facto unsupported from glibc 2.4 onwards / the introduction of NPTL, but 
it was some years after that before all the i386 code was removed and i486 
files moved into the generic i386 locations), which was also about lack of 
sufficient atomic operations support.
