This read-only Integer32 is the 32-bit sum of LS checksums of all type-3, Summary, LSAs in this area's link-state database, per its description, offering a fast consistency check on the inter-area route summaries flooded into the area. Comparing this value across all routers in the area is a quick way to confirm they all received and processed the same set of Summary LSAs from the area's Area Border Router(s), without diffing each individual route advertisement. An engineer suspecting one router in an area missed an inter-area route update would compare this checksum sum against a known-good router in the same area.
