I think it's understandable. Generally speaking, many online docs generally reference the latest or whatever's current for their dependencies. And if nothing is changed, someone else might link to that library in turn, then get linked to by someone else, and so on. Therefore, when a new version of something upstream and popular -- like JSE API -- comes out, Google index sees that version as the new kid on the block, while the previous versions have all this incumbency built in. Plus, as was pointed out, Oracle moved docs around a bunch of times, so it's kind of hard for newer API references to gain enough traction to beat some older API in the index.
