Morphology
The sense 'much better' is directly derivable from combining 'sight' (informally 'a large amount') with 'better', while 'fuck' here functions only as a vulgar intensifier and does not change the compositional meaning. This degree-construction (intensifier + degree phrase + comparative) is predictable and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent meanings would be able to infer the overall sense, though they should be aware the phrase is strongly informal and offensive.
Etymology
The phrase a fuck sight better likely comes from the older saying a sight better, where sight meant 'a lot' and the strong word fuck was added to make it stronger. So it gives the image of seeing a big change and today it means 'much better'.
