Hi! Yes, such matching are useful. The goal here is to move data from Freebase to Wikidata. So, we don't need 1-1 relation because the direction Wikidata to Freebase is not important. What we want here is that, if we replace the Freebase property by the Wikidata one, the relation remains valid.
So, P585 is a good matching for https://www.freebase.com/award/ranking/year because if we have "X award/ranking/year 1966" in Freebase then "X P585 1966" is valid too.
