The chart assumes that you have a random hole cards. Some hole cards (for example pocket pairs), are more likely to make a good hand by the river. This is why playing tight is such important in poker.
The cumulative odds column displays odds to make a particular hand or better. For example, the probability for making four of a kind or straight flush or royal flush is 0.0311%.
The total number of unique 7-card hands is 133,784,560. Suits have no relative value in poker, so by ignoring them the total number ot unique 7-card hands drops to 6,009,159.
Since in poker you can use only 5 cards out of 7 to make the best hand, there is a further reduction in possible combinations, making the total of 4,824 unique poker hands.
An interesting fact is that you are more likely to make a pair than a high card by the showdown in 7-card variants. This is a bit against the poker hand ranking, which was originally built with the assumption that the less frequent hand beats the more frequent one.
The ranking was correct for 5-card poker variants, which were dominant at the times the ranking was created. Maybe people that invented 7-card variants forgot to update the ranking, who knows?
