That is pretty normal. Mac OS 10.2 was released almost exactly one DECADE ago. The Software Update servers usually only hold updates from the last few years. After that you have to navigate to Apple and do it manually. It is a huge burden on a company to support things back over a decade, so I am just happy that Apple is cool enough to even have the updates available in it's downloads page. It is in all of our best interests that Apple does NOT overburden itself with support for legacy products. They have more important things to be doing. ;)
