    Estimated Cost to Develop (organic) $467,287,312
    Estimated Schedule Effort (organic) 142.185717 months
    Estimated People Required (organic) 291.973834
Where does this come from? Does cloc now try to estimate how much time/money would be required to build software?

I'd be interested what it thinks of my code. Do you have to give it a lot of code for these numbers to appear?

That's probably sloccount or scc, not cloc.

At least for sloccount, the cost/effort estimation model has very little to do with reality in the modern world though.
