It's most likely from 1984 because it's an episode mostly about the Olympics. Donkey Kong debuted in 1982 and that would probably have been too early to feature it on the show in time and 1986 would have been a little late for Donkey Kong.
That said, 1982 is definitely a possibility. Or even a different year if they decided to do an Olympics episode in an off-year. Unfortunately, the website regarding the episode doesn't say.

Edit: Thanks to rrconkle@lemmy.zip for getting the year right!
Keith David the Arbiter Keith David?
Surely they mean:
Worlds within worlds!
The architect!
Is that Wesley Crusher's shirt?
Do people really not know that they used to do the summer and winter Olympics in the same year?
Yeah, probably the half of the world who was born after it changed lol
See, I lived through that and was convinced they were still separate, but not staggered before the change in 92. So it would have been 8 years between each season...not sure why
thanks for the link to the site, new show I can share with my kid
