The video seems to explain what the prime number is. There is also a a bit more in the description.

The bigger question is probably how Professor McKee came up with this number. According to the description to the video, McKee fixed most of the digits so that the emblem was displayed. It sounds like he then chose some digits and just tried a number of different digits until he got a prime.

I think the following answer: https://mathoverflow.net/questions/27508/factors-of-p-1-when-p-is-prime might address why the $p-1$ was chosen with many factors.
