Actually, six is correct. It's funny that you quote Wikipedia, because the sentence following immediately after what you quoted states:
"In the PlayStation 3, one SPE is locked-out during the test process, a practice which helps to improve manufacturing yields."
One is locked out to improve chip yields, and another is dedicated to the OS as you mentioned, which leaves developers six SPEs to work with. Not that any of this matters, because if there's supposed to be a difference in visual quality between the two consoles, I've seen no evidence of it.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
