In Google Docs, is there any way to find out exactly when a document was shared with somebody that I created and shared? This would be useful, at least for me, in finding out exactly when a document was turned in.

Google recently updated the document revisions and they are displaying the exact date for each of them. For older documents it doesn't seem to be working, but at least all your new documents will be the way you wanted it.
No. The closest thing you can do is use a table.

If you are trying to find out when you shared a document with other people, AND you notified the recipient by email, then you can search Gmail for your message.
In Gmail, search
From:me <title of document>and it should pull back the email that was sent to the recipient. Body of the message starts with "I've shared an item with you"If you shared a document with someone but suppressed the email notification, then I don't think there is a way to determine when it was sent.
