It's the since boot - which is "wallclock" time. The uptime clock doesn't stop during sleep/hibernation. (It may actually be stopped internally because the CPU is stopped, but upon resume, if it's all configured correctly, it will reset the software clock to the hardware clock value and uptime will represent the time since boot)
Try it with a laptop - boot it, then suspend it (close the lid). Wait a few hours, resume it, and check the clock.
