Hmmm...
This is a little harder to describe than I thought it would be.
You could substitute the word "because"
"It so happens that" would be used to indicate that some specific situation is applicable to the subject being discussed. For example, "If you want to catch a chipmunk, use peanut butter in the trap. It so happens that all rodents find peanut butter irresistable."
There is not much, if any, difference between "it so happens that" and "it just so happens that" though "it just so happens that" indicates a degree of conveninece. Not only is the statement true, but it is also conveniently in your favor. "We'll have no problem winning this race with Jim running for us. It just so happens that he is the top 100 meter dash sprinter in the state".

The second form should use "happens" or "happened"; but can't imagine any possible continuation of the sentence that wouldn't stand by itself. In other words, neither phrase is necessary.

RE:
what the phrase: "it so happens that..." means? is it the same with: "It just so happen that..."

Yes. In this context, it doesn't quite mean a nice coincidence (ie. "it just so happens that your mother went to school with my uncle!").
It refers to a fact that doesn't have to be proven within the document. It's like saying to a young child, "It just so happens that plants breathe carbon dioxide and give off oxygen -- and that's how we get our oxygen." You're not plannin to explain why or how plants breathe ... it's like, "just accept what I'm saying."

Both phrases serve to get people's attention without contributing to the meaning. I call useless words like this "throat-clearing phrases". (Others are "ahem" "hey you" "hello there", etc)
