 I soaked a clutch slave cylinder , along with the seals, in  a bath of 7
year old gas
 for 24 hours. On removal, the cylinder seems to be coated with some sticky
residue on it.

I normally soak stuff in gas to remove grime and stuff but usuall remove
rubber.

Is this expected for 7 year old or more gas? is it happening because of the
rubber int he gas?

 Is this stuff causing problems to my tank and fuel lines?

Gasoline usually has a shelf life of about 90 days before all of the
lightest bits evaporate.  After seven years, I expect you're halfway back
to crude oil.  If you want to clean with gas, get fresh gas.  If you are
putting it in your tank, get fresh gas.

tl;dr old gas is a gooey mess.
