It is used to express frustration or exasperation.

For ***'s sake! You don't even have your shoes on yet? I told you we needed to leave five minutes ago!

For ***'s sake! That's the dumbest excuse I've ever heard! You exect me to believe that?

Sakes is the plural for sake, I think those people you heard simply used the plural, but what I meant is that you have to put the possessive case "***'s". Then it can be followed by sake or sakes, the meaning that Grammar Geek gave you remains the same even for the plural, I suppose!
