COMMENTS
This sequence essentially consists of the numbers in A363269 arranged in increasing order. Although A363269 is a linear recurrence sequence, it appears that this sequence is not.
4900 is the only nontrivial case of a square number that is also square pyramidal (proved by Watson). - Peter Munn, Jul 30 2023
