The points are mostly just an incentive for people to start answering questions, and also to vote on other answers, and finally, to rate other people's answers. As you increase your points and levels you are able to perform more of the standard activity - ask, answer, rate, vote and comment.
Other than that, the points don't do anything. You do get some extra 'attention' at higher levels, but that may or may not be a good thing. There are no secret special prizes, at least none that any of us at Level 7 have heard of.
Mostly, just enjoy the site, ask and answer questions. If you like, keep track of your points as you move up in levels. After awhile, you'll be more interested in responding to people's questions with quality answers.
Here's the link where you can see what the different levels are and how to earn points. http://answers.yahoo.com/info/scoring_sy...

At certain numbers you will gain a level. That new level will have an increased amount of questions you can ask and answer, comments, votes, etc
Here's the point system link. All the way at the bottom is what you get as you gain levels:
