what does (sic) mean?

Answer 1

It's used after quotes which contain an error to indicate that the error was part of the original quote, not an error of the person making the quote.

Answer 2

Sic is a Latin word meaning "thus", "so", or "just as that". In writing, it is italicized and placed within square brackets — [sic] — to indicate that an incorrect or unusual spelling, phrase, or other preceding quoted material is a verbatim reproduction of the quoted original and is not a transcription error.
