What is meant by 737 40 SWG cu flexible wire.?

The description you show seems to match the description for 16AWG wire made up of 259 strands of 40AWG, Rope construction with bunch stranded groups. Similar to concentric for the groups of strands. The wire is made up of 7 Bunches of 37 strands of 40AWG strands to make a 16AWG wire. The description should be 16AWG(259/40) construction is 7x37/40. The SWG more than likely stands for Standard Wire Gauge. This construction is a high strand count which would make it flexible. You can learn more about stranding and view a wire gauge chart on the link below.
