You need to install it from a .vsix file. You can find them here.
Download the .vsix file of the version you want. You may have to click assets to see them.
Then open VSCode, go to extensions -> click on the three dots -> install from vsix and select your file.
To install the .vsix you can also use the command 

code --install-extension ms-python-release.vsix
