  dh/dt = -9.8t

At t=7, the speed is ...

  -9.8(7) = -68.6 . . . . . meters per second (downward)

The speed is 68.6 meters per second.

Additional comment

Height is considered to be positive in the up direction, so velocity and acceleration are also positive in the up direction. The derivative of height will be the velocity. Its negative sign in this case indicates the object is moving in the downward direction. The speed is the magnitude (absolute value) of the velocity.
