A judgment can get satisfied by a wage garnishment. A judgment can also be satisfied by a levy of property. An attorney can help you file the proper paperwork.

What does it mean to have a satisfied judgment on your credit report?

It means that a person or company got a court order or some other legal order directing you to pay. That is the judgment. Satisfying the judgment means that you have met all conditions of the judgment and it is no longer operative. For example, you were sued and lost, and a judge ordered you to pay x dollars for x years. When it's all paid, you have satisfied the judgment.

Why should a judgment be paid if it cannot be removed from a credit report before seven years have expired?

Short answer, a valid judgment can be executed against the debtor's non exempt property at any time. A judgment that has been perfected as a lien against real property is more likely to be implemented as a forced sale of the property in question. And a judgment accrues interest until it is paid or satisfied with the judgment creditor.
