Its a stamp that costs whatever first class postage is when you buy it, but it's always good for that, no matter how much the rates go up. So the Forever stamp you paid $0.44 for now, you can still use it to mail a letter in 5 years, when stamps might be $0.70.

Depending on your country and postal service these are also known more generally as "non-denominated" or "non-value indicator" postage.
