Sorry for this question but do meanwhile all Linux distributions have Samba built-in?
If not: Which distro have Samba built-in?

How do I find out if a current Linux distro have Samba installed and which version?

No distribution has "built-in". Most of them do distribute the
daemons but if it is installed or not (or configured) is left as an
excercise to the reader.

smbclient -V will tell you if the client is installed and which
version

For the server part, look if you have smbd/nmbd somewhere.

Most of the major distributions include samba. Small footprint distros like
DSL typcially do not.

Try distrowatch. They list the major packages included in all the linux
(and bsd) distributions:
