Usually it means some insurance company considered it a total write off. It would cost more to fix than it was worth. As soon as they pay off the policy holder the car belongs to the insurance company. They don't want a car so they sell is as salvage.
I have seen some scary cars that are "salvaged." Unless I knew the complete history of what and how it was fixed I would never touch a salvaged car.
Many cars that have an airbag deployment are totaled because it cost so much to repair the airbag system properly.
