It depends on which system you use. 

I've seen (but never used) a shareware init called "MBarCompress" which is
supposed to compress the menu bar to leave space for utilities like
SuperClock. I don't know if it works with system 7.0 (I'm pretty sure that
it doesn't). You can find it on mac.archive.umich.edu for example.

Another possibility is some less smart mbar-clock which does not hide when
the menu bar is too wide. I don't remember the name of these dirty things; I
think of an init (ClockInit ?) and a FKEY (ClockFKey ?). The FKEY allows to
switch on and off the time in the menu bar. Again, I'm almost sure that it
doesn't work with system 7.0 (moreover, the system 7.0 is FKEYs-unfriendly !).
