That's really a question for the Cloudmark people. My guess is that domains that have mailing lists which talk about spam get a bad rating since people still incorrectly scan those lists through anti-spam software.
Another guess would be that rating is using data from razor reports. If someone reports a SA tagged message to razor without stripping the tags, the surbl.org domain is going to appear in the message body as a byproduct of the rule descriptions.
