Scroll down to the very end of that HTML document and you would see
the time and date stamps:

This means that the documentation you are referring to is nearly 2
years old. So you should not expect it to be a good reflection of the
current state of Sage. I encourage you to refer to the official
reference manual [1] on the Sage website.

Many, many versions of Sage ago, prange() and prime_range() were one
and the same function. But now, prange() has been removed so you only
need to use prime_range(). You also have the choice of using primes().
Both prime_range() and primes() achieve the same result. However,
prime_range() can use more memory than primes(). To read their
documentation, from the Sage command line, do

sage: prime_range??
sage: primes?
