The spoken stardates in the film span 8130.3 (Saavik making her log
entry in the first scene) to 8141.6 (Kirk's entry near the end).
I just love it when spoken words disagree with printed things; the
novelization uses 8130.5 for the opening.  Interesting that this is
VERY nearly 5000 stardate after the original "Space Seed" episode
was set.  By contrast, "Star Trek:  The Motion Picture" took place
around stardate 7413, leading some to speculate that STII is about
two solar years after STTMP.  I don't know.
