I can't find a definition for what htop calls 'SWAP'. It might just be virtual memory usage since a few gigabytes is the normal amount of virtual memory usage by gnome-shell. If however htop defines 'SWAP' as actual swap file usage then yes there might be a leak in gnome-shell. But the fact that its RES size (presumably RSS or real RAM usage) is only 168M out of around 3750M of physical memory suggests something *other* than gnome-shell is using up all the RAM.
