The Introduction to Emacs Lisp and the Emacs Lisp Reference manuals were made part of the Emacs distribution only in Emacs 22.1. Until then, they were maintained as separate distributions in separate tarballs. The "goes with GNU Emacs version X" means it describes that version of Emacs, not that it physically comes with its tarball.
