A service address is the published correspondence address for a director, secretary or PSC, used instead of their home address.
It belongs to the person, not the company, and it is recorded per appointment: a director of three companies needs one recorded against all three. Without one, Companies House publishes that person's usual residential address, and anything already published stays in the filing history.
