Github has the sources for both 1.7.5 and the new 1.8.5. The problem
here isn't that the source is missing, the problem is that the SBo
maintainer is missing.

The good news is, if you download the 1.8.5 source from github:

https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-imager/archive/v1.8.5/rpi-imager-1.8.5.tar.gz

...and run rpi-imager.SlackBuild with VERSION=1.8.5 set in the
environment, it runs OK, and creates a rpi-imager-1.8.5-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz
package that at least looks plausible.

I don't own a Raspberry Pi and don't have any microSD cards left, so I
can't test to see if it actually works, but presumably Jim can...
