Because you inserted the link to some "Windows-Keyboard".

Modifier 5 cannot be Meta, Super, and Hyper altogether.
When you launch GNU Emacs with -Q, without any customisation, does it
still interpret Alt as Meta? If so, then my assumption about the
parity of the modifiers is wrong and it plays a role that mod1 is Meta
and mod2 or mod3 is Alt. Then Hyper and maybe Super can follow, but I
think Mode_switch is more important, since it's the compose key, which
allows to type ø as o / etc. Num_Lock can be pretty useless.
In case Alt and Meta work correctly in 'emacs -Q', then something in
your or your system's customisation (init files) is exchanging them.
