Why is there a Supreme Court of Pennsylvania ruling dating back to 1759?

The Lessee of Hyam and others v. Edwards

I realize that technically the Constitution wasn't ratified until 1787 and that may be the true date of creation for the United States (federal government). However, it still doesn't explain a Supreme Court existing before that date.

Is the Supreme Court a separate entity all-together?

In numerous rulings and opinion's, the Supreme Court likes to identify itself as the Court, and the federal government as the Government - suggesting it being an entirely different entity.

In 1762, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania mentioned it's first opinion of the need for a Constitution.

Who are these guys? Are they an extension of England? Is the history of the United States not necessarily what most people think? Or is this just insignificant?
