It’s because the hand joker card there allows straights and flushes to be made with 4 cards, so the 4 black suited cards make a flush, and the gapped sequence makes a straight, since both hands are made together it counts as straight flush. You can ignore the ace. It can get weirder because you can make a 4 card straight and toss another card unrelated but with the same suit as 3 of the straight cards and it still counts as straight flush.
But would the straight flush take priority since it’s a higher scoring hand or how is it chosen? I assume a straight flush doesn’t check for a straight and a flush.
So not all cards of the straight need to be flush to be counted as a straight flush so long as there is another flush in the played hand according to Balatro’s scoring?
I’ve not played Balatro. I can see how three wildcards could turn this into a straight or a flush, but not a straight flush. How?

I don’t know jokers by sight yet, but there’s one that lets you do straights with gaps… So 2, 4, 5, 7, 9
Another that counts hearts and diamond as same as club and spade as same.
3rd allows straights and flushes to be played with 4 cards.so 7, 9, J , Q.
8 is a skip, 10 is a skip. Ok’d by jokers. Ace isn’t counted in scoring or hand.
Ace will get counted as part of the straight.

All 5 cards will be counted in the straight flush. It’s a straight (with one card gaps) and a flush (with 4 of the “same” suit).
