It means someone is saying happy birthday to you late. Your birthday has passed, but they are still telling you happy birthday, but the belated means, they missed or forgot to tell you on the actual day of your birthday.

After the fact. As in saying-"Happy belated birthday!" to someone that had their birthday last week.
