A satisfied judgment can typically stay on your credit report for seven years from the date it was filed. Even after it is satisfied, it may still appear on your credit report for the full seven-year period, but with a notation stating that it has been paid.
Some judgments will be removed according to the seven year time limit some will not. Many judgments are renewable, if that is the case the judgment can stay or be reentered on a CR. The "filed" indicates when the judgment became valid, and that is the date from which the seven year time frame usually begins.
