Not sure.
To me it seems that top just uses wrong statistics to calculate the value.

 /* swap usage */
 #define ki_swap(kip) \
   ((kip)->ki_swrss > (kip)->ki_rssize ? (kip)->ki_swrss - (kip)->ki_rssize : 0)

ki_rssize is the resident size of a process.
ki_swrss is resident set size before last swap.

Their difference is... exactly what?
I cannot even meaningfully describe this value.
But it is certainly _not_ the current swap utilization by the process.

Here is my attempt at obtaining a more reasonable approximation of the. process
swap use.  But it is still wildly inaccurate.
