What happens to the excess revenues during the years when the Social Security trust fund runs a surplus?

Historically speaking, they've been spent on other things. Effectively, the government has been "borrowing" from this fund for many years now. It's probably more properly classified as stealing, really, since there's little hope they will ever be able to put it back unless they dramatically curb expenditures (like the Republicans want to do) and increase tax revenues (like the Democrats want to do). The problem is that neither party really wants to do BOTH, and it's becoming increasingly obvious that doing just one or the other is not going to be sufficient.
