No mention of SmartScreen on my side.
It was blocked before landing on my drive (using Chrome, not Edge) even before trying to execute and SmartScreen could kick in.
In addition, I have Edge uninstalled.

or the website is compromised and the installer is tampered.
It is not the first time for MD to flag 7-Zip freshly released installer.
To keep on the safe side, I delete the installer and redownload it again a week later.
During such a period, if the website was compromised, it would be discovered and fixed.
If the problem the young age of the installer, it would not be considered young then anymore.
