Thank you both, Tony and Charles!  I always like it when a sequence
that seems stuck in the mud digs its tires out, and climbs onto higher
ground.

So there should be a comment akin to:
"The first value other than 2 or 3 was found by Charles Greathouse as
a(?) = 5480828320492525 = 5^2 * 7^2 * 11 * 13 * 17 * 19 * 23 * 31 * 103 * 1319
