That's the version in Ubuntu Precise Pangolin, released in April 2012, aka
12.04. If you're really on precise, you could do-release-upgrade to 14.04.
Ubuntu 15.04 has 7.4.488, but compiling your own is so easy, so long as you run
sudo apt-get build-dep vim
and
sudo apt-get install build-essential
before trying to compile vim.
