LAist defines it as

Superior Court judges serve six-year terms, but they don’t always have to face reelection when that time is up. They’ll only appear on your ballot if someone challenges their seat at the end of their term — and even then, sometimes that will result in a dozen or more seats up for election in a given year. Judges who go unchallenged automatically get reelected into their next term and never appear on the ballot at all.

The seat up for election is JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT Office No. 157. The seat expired Jan 2023. The re-election is for a six-year term.
