Hi..

I am using a wordpress nulled theme, and suddenly when I checked my old posts there were so many hidden links to Viagra and other sites. So maybe I got hacked? I had 1 user with really simple password - I checked the revision history and it showed nothing.. Could it be because of the theme? I downloaded it from Mafiashare though.

Nulled themes are notorious for this. Don't use nulled themes unless you know how to clean them up and check for malicious code.

Mafiashare sounds so legit, though?

Just delete your site and start again. It's too much effort to try "unhack" yourself imo.

Well I just restored to previous revisions.. no more links there and no other issues. Does it help if I buy the original theme and replace it with the current one?

Your site wasn't hacked so there's no need to delete the site. Just delete the nulled theme and buy the original version from the developer.
