I think the 32bit sparc support has been phased out. Sparc64 isn't a
"official port", but there's a port:
https://wiki.debian.org/Sparc64
including seemingly regularly updated images.

They've been moved to archive.debian.org, but they should still be
downloadable. Seems like the website hasn't been quite updated to that
fact...
The installer downloads are still available at:
https://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/debian-installer/
but sources.list would need to be pointed at something like
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ wheezy contrib main non-free
