Fields

Unknown = 0

The version has not been established; no beginning-of-file record has been read and none was supplied.

Biff5 = 5

BIFF5, written by Excel 5.0 and Excel 95 (BIFF7 shares the same layouts and is treated as BIFF5). Strings are code-page byte strings and a record payload is at most 2,080 bytes.

Biff8 = 8

BIFF8, written by Excel 97 through Excel 2003. Strings are Unicode (16-bit or compressed 8-bit) with option flags, cell text is pooled in the shared string table, and a record payload is at most 8,224 bytes.

Remarks

The version governs how several records lay out their fields - string representation, the width of row indices in DIMENSIONS, the presence of the shared string table - and the maximum payload a single record may carry. A reader establishes the version from the first beginning-of-file record it encounters; a writer is created with the version it emits.
