First of all,
「せいせいすらあ」
is a Tokyo tough guy's colloquial version of
「せいせいするわ」
(For those who still believe that 「わ」 is feminine, it is not.)
Next, 「せいせいする」. (「清々する」 using kanji.)
It is a set phrase expressing how one feels refreshed, relieved, etc. after a big problem has disappeared. My own secret translation of the phrase would be:
"Good ...

I think it's the usual 終助詞「よ」 (sentence-final particle よ). What I've read is that it attaches directly to nouns in so-called 女性語 (feminine speech). I think it's often used in stereotyped dialogue in fiction, so it's also an example of 役割語 (role words)--though I don't mean to imply that it's only used in fiction, or only by women for that matter!

It's a sentence-ending particle. (With a falling tone) You use it to soften an assertive statement. It's more used by women.
So ゾロリ's late ...

Grammatically, わ always follows the dictionary form of a verb/i-adjective or だ. It never follows the imperative form and ～ください/～ちょうだい. (～ください is etymologically an imperative form.) As a feminine sentence-end particle, わ is used to state a fact or her own feeling with mild emphasis. Unlike わ, よ safely follows an imperative form.
煙草をやめるわ。 I will quit ...

…したわ is a pretty oldish expression equivalent to today’s ……したよ, and it’s not a feminine particle at all.
We used to hear “(それで) せいせい（がっかり、すっきり、さっぱり）したわ – I feel relieved (disappointed, refreshed, clean)” spoken by middle-aged and elderly men quite often until a few decades ago, though we probably don’t hear it so often today.
Still it’s not unusual to ...
