A tachometer that shows the wrong reading and get stuck sometimes could be caused by faulty wiring between the transmission and tachometer. It could be caused by a defective instrument cluster.

Why is the supercharger's tachometer on my 2000 Bonneville ssei reading -10 psi instead of 0 psi when the car is on?

PSI is (Pounds per Square Inch), not RPMs (Revolutions Per Minute), so how is this related to a tachometer which reads RPMs? Are you referring to the Superchargers Boost reading on the boost gage? If so, this sounds normal for a supercharger with the engine running.PSI is (Pounds per Square Inch), not RPMs (Revolutions Per Minute), so how is this related to a tachometer which reads RPMs?

What is the significance of the readings from a handheld tachometer?

Well, a Tachometer in general tells you the RPM of a motor or other such engine. As for something handheld, from what I have seen they would mostly be employeed to engines that are not mounted into a car already as a means of testing their capacity or after some series of tests that can better determine condition or wear or such. Most cars have them mounted into their dashboards to my understanding, to give a reading while on the go.
