Morphology
level + of + fuckness
The phrase transparently uses 'level of' to mark a degree and 'fuckness' is an informal, derived noun from the verb/lexeme 'fuck' plus a nominalizing -ness, so a learner who knows these parts can infer it refers to the extent or state of something being badly/messily wrong. However, the item is slang/taboo and the precise nuance (absurdity, frustration, or problematic circumstances) and acceptability are pragmatic and culture-specific, so the exact meaning and use are not fully predictable without exposure.
Etymology
Level of fuckness comes from a joking image of a meter that measures how bad or absurd a situation is, with level meaning the amount and fuckness as a strong, informal word for how bad it is. So people use it to say something is at a 'very high' degree of frustration or absurdity.
