It isn't necessary to delete the "`" and the "\\". You can simply copy then paste from your email into a Mathematica session and Mathematica will do the right thing.

I don't understand what you were expecting but it looks to me as if ListPlot is performing exactly as documented.

Note that

Length[swk]
41

Length[Union[swk]]
6

and

Take[swk, {-10, -2}]

 {3809.5051853424857, -0.002704921194676019},

 {3809.5051853424857, -0.002704921194676019}}
 
That is there appear to be only 6 distinct pairs in swk

When I do ListPlot[swk, PlotRange->All]; I see 6 points ploted

And when I compare ListPlot[swk, PlotJoined->True, PlotRange->All]; I see 5 line segments joined a places corresponding to the plotted points. Given that you are plotting only 6 distinct points, why do you expect a different plot?
