The only time it really makes a difference is if you accidentally
switch it to the 7500+ neighborhood. A good rule of thumb is to roll in
the first number (which at least in the Minneapolis area is never 7) and
then do the rest.

Do people get 7xxx codes elsewhere in the United States?

FWIW, in most of the rest of the world the conspicuity code ("VFR", in
effect) is 7000 rather than 1200. There's rather more room for error of the
sort you're thinking of.

And people do get 7XXX codes in the US, just not 75XX, 76XX, 77XX.
