Looks like 2.79 BSD. From the TUHS archives:

$ tar -tzvf 2.79bsd.tar.gz | grep /whereis
-rwxr-xr-x 0/0            4412 1979-04-21 06:34 bin.v6/ucb/whereis
-rw-r--r-- 0/0            1692 1981-01-13 17:37 man/whereis.u
-rw-r--r-- 0/0            4519 1981-01-13 17:37 src/whereis.c
-rw-r--r-- 0/0            3851 1979-04-19 07:04 upgrade/src/whereis.c

Hope this helps.
