Nobody seems to have checked SAOB - recommended for older words ...
http://g3.spraakdata.gu.se/saob/
 
SUPRINERAD: this is the spelling commonly used 1723-1845; the word is from the French surprendre - Swedish överraska, överrumpla (surprise)
This word is not Swenglish.
 
SKULKADES: this is the spelling commonly used 1682-1846; today we would use SKOLKA - with roughly the same meaning (being absent without leave or valid reason - AWOL)
Neither is this word Swenglish.
 
The words SEHÄLL and LAGGHUS however do not exist in Swedish (according to SAOB and they are usually right) and so are either misspellings, misreadings or - popular theory - Swenglish.

PS Gammal som gatan is not a saying only in northern Sweden, it's common also on the west coast - and is in fact given as an example of colloquial Swedish usage at the word gammal in SAOB (and I think the translation old as the hills is quite correct).
