Isn't the whole the struggles and fiascos are about the suspect of him doing rape or not? How could the totally unrelated email leaks be the reason to grant a pardon?

Nope, those charges were dropped.
Also AFAIK Swedish prosecutors wanted to drop these charges in 2013, but the UK prosecutors dissuaded them from doing do.
Besides, not all of the Swedish charges hit statute of limitations.
It wouldn’t. It’s quite common to have a statute of limitations that requires the prosecutors to serve an indictment, in this case that wouldn’t even have been particularly difficult to achieve.
AFAIK most (all?) Nordic legal systems are like this.
