This OID reports the count of severely errored seconds on the ADSL line during the current 15-minute period, where errors exceed acceptable thresholds (0 to 900 seconds). You'd care about this because high error rates mean the signal quality is very poor and the connection is degrading. A value of 12 seconds means about 1.3% of the last 15 minutes had excessive errors, which should trigger an alert if it becomes frequent.
