Ooops... I will have to take off "-5" points to you for lying
inadvertently :-)

And that's the normal behaviour, I mean, that's what I get :-?

Nope, I mean the common "home" key. I also get a "7" when I turn off num.
lock, press shift and type numeric keypad "7", that's how it has to be.
You get "home/end" "page up/page down" moving with numeric keypad only
when num. lock is turned off and the shift key is not pressed. Shift key
modifies the behaviour of many keys, num. lock and caps lock included, at
least in an X session :-)
