While I am sure that many of us have some (rather kinky and perhaps 
hopeful) ideas about why Sirius keeps around some manacles, I think 
maybe that he recalls all the torture devices that Argus Filch keeps 
in his office, in the hopes that Dumbledore will let him use them to 
torture the students.  Doesnt Filch say something about how he used 
to hang students from the ceiling in the good old days?  Probably 
just lies, but still I wouldnt be surprised if old Filch didnt have 
manacles and chains and a few other charming devices lying around.

Another possibly is that Sirius transfigured some other object that 
was in the room into manacles.
