what was/is the FIRST available Version to include 'sphere' ?
Please have a look into the internet manual: Sphere, near the footer the information wanted is given:

by the way, you can do your own sphere using ParametricPlot3D
with a spherical co-ordinate system and two random vectors: one for the radius and the other one for the center. Equally easy would it be to generate a parametrized list of polygons representing a template sphere and move that around, finally showing all of them with Graphics3D
.
