That sentence means that the "thing" you are talking about is not new. The more literally translation I can give you without losing information is: that "thing" comes from a long time ago.
EDIT: It that sentence "lejos" is not about distance but time.

Could it also mean the thing comes from far away? - Winkfish, Jul 15, 2015
Literally, yes, but it would be a strange way to say that. That sentence is commonly used as i said before. - txustaboy, Jul 16, 2015
