Google has all the text they've scraped.

They can see all the domains that have served a given snippet.

They also have history to identify where each snippet was first seen.

If SO has a lot of traffic and a good reputation, and if the same snippet is found first at SO and then later at bunch of newly created, low volume, low reputation domains, then show the SO result and not the others.
