I think the original bug report refered to sparc, not sparc64. Packages
for some versions should be available from snapshot.d.o, but only for
versions that could actually be built.

Maybe look up versions from
  https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=systemd&arch=sparc
that built successfully and then try to obtain those from snapshot.d.o?

That would also work for sparc64, but the build history looks even worse
there:
  http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/logs.php?pkg=systemd&arch=sparc64
