The card that is normally discarded at the end of the Age. You can therefore construct the 7th card when playing with the base game rules, the 8th card when playing with the Cities or Armada expansion, and the 9th card when playing with both the Cities and Armada expansions.
This effect activates at the end of each Age starting the Age this stage is constructed. So if you manage to construct it during Age I, you can activate it 3 times during the game.
This means that your first Brown, Grey, Yellow, Red, Green, Blue, and Purple card (and Black, if you’re playing with the Cities expansion) can be constructed in your City for free. In other words, if the color of the card you’re constructed isn’t yet present in your City, this card is free: you do not need to own or buy any resources to construct this card.
No, the free construction effect is only applied to Age cards (Buildings), and not to Wonder stages (or Leader cards).
This is referring to the very first card you choose at the start of an Age (from your initial hand of cards). During each Age, you do not need to own or buy any resources to construct this card.

This is referring to the sixth card card in the Age (in the base game) and not the card you discard. During each Age, you do not need to own or buy any resources to construct this card.
If you manage to construct this Wonder stage in Age I, you can therefore construct 3 cards for free: the last card in Age I, the last card in Age II, and the last card in Age III.
You can never use this effect during Age I, except in an extremely rare scenario. If you are playing with the Leaders expansion, and each of your neighbors have an Ore for their starting resource, you can build stage 1 of your Wonder with your first Leader. Then you can use the effect of this Wonder stage starting in Age I.
