signed and recorded/filed (by a judge)

Simply put, it means that the judgement has been signed and filed officially by a judge, giving it the legal force of a judgement.

"Rule 74.01(a) "A judgement is rendered when entered. A judgement is entered when a writing signed by the judge and denominated "judgement" is filed."

A judgment in a (civil case) that is final, for this court, and may (if the rules of that jurisdiction allow), be appealed.

There are also such things as “modified final judgments,” which of course would suggest that not all final judgments are final.

It simply means that the particular court is finished with the case (unless they re-open it), and it can be taken elsewhere (if the procedural rules allow), as opposed to a pending case, where except for extraordinary circumstances, no other court can hear the case or matters relating to it until the court hearing it issues its final judgment.

“court” here refers to levels of courts within a judicial system, not to lateral courts on the same level.
