It depends. I can't keep any cooked ground meat longer than about 3
days, because my stomach apparently is very sensitive to it. Your own
experience may be different.

If the meatballs are going bad, they might have kind of a sweet
odor.

Surely, it wasn't so expensive to make or hard to make that you can't
just throw it out. Seven days is a long time to have cooked meat in
the fridge, IMO.
