I haven't been following the story with the declassified documents much, but all I see it mention are 500 chemical weapons munitions were found. It doesn't mention them being 155 mm shells.
Assuming they are though, that seems to support part of the US's reason for attacking Iraq. Part of the whole 'WMD' reasoning was that Iraq was lying about destroying munitions and was hiding them from inspectors. Finding these 500, which Iraq declared to be destroyed, would seem to prove that point of the US's case to be true.
That would kind of make this new news a big deal, particularly since there's a never ending line of people claiming "Bush lied". Personally, I'd like more details of this 'classified report' to be made public before I start drawing conclusions on all this.
