As far as I can see from available information and flight data, this incident most likely concerned SV1020 from Jeddah to Riyadh on March 10th 2008. The B777-200 was taken out of service and the remaining sectors of the day flown with a B747-300.

The author of the video wrote, that the hole appeared about 900 meters above ground with a loud bang.

The video is available on youtube, too, where the author has left the more detailed description of the incident:
