Formula

a(n) = 1/n * [(d/dx)^n x^^7]_{x=1}.

a(n) = (n-1)! * [x^n] (x+1)^^7.

a(n) = 1/n * A277538(n).

Maple

f:= proc(n) f(n):= `if`(n=0, 1, (x+1)^f(n-1)) end:
a:= n-> (n-1)!*coeff(series(f(7), x, n+1), x, n):
seq(a(n), n=1..23);

Mathematica

f[n_] := f[n] = If[n == 0, 1, (x + 1)^f[n - 1]];
a[n_] := (n - 1)!*SeriesCoefficient[f[7], {x, 0, n}];
