A workaround, without having to upgrade GRASS (which is not a good 
idea), is to clone the grass-addons repo and supply a local path as 
extension URL.

     git clone -b grass7 https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-addons 
$PWD/grass-addons
     g.extension extension=r.area url=$PWD/grass-addons/src/raster/r.area
