It's quite simple, some hero member got extra merit when the system was introduced, you can see in here theymos mentioning it:
While specific formula is not given, theymos wrote that the initial sMerit is not solely determined by rank, but determined by rank and activity points obtained in the last year.
The exact formula was:
yearActivity = activity in the last ~year, max 378
freeMerit = the merit (not sMerit) you started with
modifier =
0.1 if member
0.2 if full member
0.25 if sr member
0.35 if hero
0.4 if legendary
return (yearActivity/378) * modifier * freeMerit
So the most you could get is if you were a Legendary who maxed out your activity points in the last year, in which case you would get 1 * 0.4 * 1000 = 400 sMerit.
Note that I later made an adjustment giving 500 extra merit to some hero members, but no extra sMerit was given here.I'll probably publish a dump of the initial sMerit at some point.
That seems wrong. I got 192 sMerit and I don't think I missed an activity period over the last year which is a bit confusing.
I believe the merit score of any user can only be dated back to the last 120 days and after that it can no longer be traced.
In bpip, you can check the history of merits of a person, not only for 120 days.

But why with only 552 activities? Any specific reason?
It might be possible that
Rollin.io was a Legendary member but due to a huge number of deleted posts his activity went down as well.
BPIP also provides modlogs for each user. No post was deleted for that user.
This post explains why everyone got a different amount of sMerit. It's not the same.
He indicated this one.

Jet Cash also didn't get the 500 merit and I think he was a bit above a hero when the merit system came out (not entirely sure though).
