If you're using the script from the Linux calibre download page, it's prompting for your password in order to use the Sudo command

This is just your Linux (with admin rights) Password

SU is Super Use which was improved to SUDO (Super Use Do), a 1 time use. (SU session stayed until you released. Very dangerous if you forgot)

It is the password you use when you log in or when you want to install some packages or update the system.
This is your computer asking for password when installing anything, not just Calibre.
