As explained on another post, this was part of preservation of old seeds. I've now played on this seed for a while, and it turns out to be a quite interesting seed. The three Villages are close to spawn, and the one in the middle does have a Stronghold connected to a mineshaft.

Within the Stronghold there are the End Portal room, and two Libraries, and in addition two the nuisance of the Silverfish Spawner also a very useful Skeleton Spawner which is readily available for turning into an XP farm.

In the overworld I have not explored too much, yet, but just the fact that there are three Villages does provide you with a lot of food resources to start of with. There also seems to be enough wood around, so all in all it is easy to setup a camp providing access to most vital resources.

In the village closest to spawn I dug a mineshaft straight down from the house closest to the river (and furtherst) away from other villages, and found a rather large cave system where I've so far has found a few different Diamond ores, Gold ores, some Lapis Lapzuli ores and Redstone ores. This of course in addition to the normal Iron and Coal ores. So it's easy to get a running start on your mining projects. This cave system goes down to the Lava level as well, so you'll also find Obsidian rather easily.

In short, this seems to be a seed giving you access to plenty of resources right from the start, and with the Stronghold so close by, you can easily setup a base with great access to most dimensions!

The only thing missing, is whether there is a Nether Fortress close by in the Nether. But I haven't made a Nether Portal yet, so I have to come back to that! I generated this world in 1.0.2, so it is still a very valid seed.
