When the lightning comes out of Palpatine's fingers, it bounces off the lightsaber and back onto himself causing his skin to look much older because Mace Windu is holding the lightsaber sideways. The other characters throughout the series who get electricuted don't have lightning bounce off anything making their bodies the same. Also the way Mace holds the lightsaber is different than a similar scene in Episode II when Obi-Wan holds the weapon upward while Count Dooku is shooting out lightning from his fingers. This absorbs the lightning inward rather than bouncing back. This also rotates the death scenes in Episode VI where Darth Vader saves Luke and kills Palpatine. Here, he saves Palpatine and Mace Windu dies. This polar opposite creates a birth of Darth Vader/Emperor Palpatine in 3 and a death of them in 4.
