Morphology
The phrase is transparently compositional: 'level' denotes a measure and 'suckitude' (given here as 'condition of being extremely poor quality') names the quality being measured, so together they mean the degree of how poor something is. This follows a very common 'level of X' noun pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning despite its informal register.
Etymology
Level of suckitude uses the slang suck ('to be very bad') plus a playful ending -tude to make it sound like a real measure. Picture a meter where the 'level' rises as something gets worse, so the phrase jokingly names how bad something is.
