Firstly, If you're getting +7V on TP2 with reference to TP10, then U3 (78L05) is kaput. Either that, or there's a short somewhere that's putting 7V onto the 5V line. You can easily check that (as mentioned before) by snipping off the output pin on U3.
Secondly, I think you're getting confused about U1 (79L05) because the pinout is different between U1 and U3. On U1 the middle pin is not the common, it's the input voltage.
Refer to Step 1 in the Build Document, where it says "Measure the voltage at U8 pin 4 (see Fig. 2)" to check the -5V supply.
