About these units
Score (score)
Twenty years. Familiar from 'four score and seven years ago' (87 years) in the Gettysburg Address.
Score meant a notch cut on a tally stick. The word is related to Old Norse skor, and because people often counted in twenties, every twentieth notch was cut larger, so the word came to mean twenty. As a unit of time, a score of years is 20 years, about 631 million seconds on the Gregorian calendar.
The best known use is the opening of the Gettysburg Address, delivered on 19 November 1863, where Lincoln spoke of four score and seven years ago. That is 87 years, which counted back from 1863 reaches 1776 and the Declaration of Independence. Wikipedia notes that the word also appears loosely as scores of, meaning a large unspecified number. A score is two decades, and five scores make a century.
1 score = 631,139,040 seconds (exactly).

Week (wk)
Seven days. The seven-day week comes from the ancient Near East and is nearly universal in the modern calendar.
Nothing in the sky produces a seven-day cycle, which makes the week a human invention with a contested pedigree. Babylonians marked the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th of the lunar month as special, but that was not a continuous cycle. A continuous seven-day cycle tied to the Sabbath is attested in Judaism by the 6th century BC at the latest, and scholars disagree on whether it was borrowed from Babylon or developed independently. The Romans later used a week named for the Sun, the Moon and the five visible planets, and in AD 321 Emperor Constantine decreed it across the empire.
A week is seven days, or 604,800 seconds, and it divides evenly into neither months nor years, which is why calendars shift against it. The ISO 8601 standard starts each week on Monday and assigns week 1 to the week containing the year's first Thursday, so some years have a week 53. Other societies used different lengths: Rome had an eight-day market cycle, and revolutionary France used a ten-day week from 1793 to 1802. The English word comes from Old English wice, meaning a turn or succession.
1 week = 604,800 seconds (exactly).
