It means what it says, the database is more than 8 days old. When you do
'updatedb' it indexes your filesystems and puts that info in
/var/lib/locate/locatedb' to speed up the search. You should update that
database every few days to make sure all files are in it.

Ps
I have my updatedb in crontab, so that i don't have to bother about it. It
updates every monday at 10.
