Right off the bat you can see that the Pokemon don't have max stats (you can tell by their HP values). So it's safe to assume that their other stats are not maxed. It's possible for a well trained Snorlax to outspeed a lesser trained Machamp under normal conditions, which would also apply if they were both paralyzed.

The Curse makes it weird though. You can discard any theories about "underflow speed" because Snorlax was outsped by healthy Machamp and Marawak on their first turns. Even a max speed para Snorlax at -1 should be slower than a min speed para Machamp according to the speed formula. My first guess was a strange interaction between Curse and paralysis. Gen 1 had a glitch where stat modifications from status were recalculated wrong if a Pokemon used a stat changing move, but this glitch was supposedly fixed in gen 2 (and furthermore should not exist in the Stadium games). It may be some kind of similar thing (although not the exact same scenario as gen 1).
