How do “badges” work?
The number of gold badges listed on SO are 13 but I have seen a user have 135 gold badges. Is it possible to have a specific gold badge more than once? Where did the additional gold badges came from?

is it possible to have a specific gold badge more than once?
yes, it is possible to award same badge multiple times like this on famous-question
Also for: great-answer and stellar-question
You can see in this case the number of times the same badge has been awarded:

Yes - there are several badges that you can be awarded numerous times.
Some gold badges that can be awarded more than once are -
Famous Question - Asked a question with 10,000 views.
Great Question - Question score of 100 or more.
Great Answer - Answer score of 100 or more.
Reversal - Provided answer of +20 score to a question of -5 score.

Stellar Question - Question favorited by 100 users.
Populist - Highest scoring answer that outscored an accepted answer with score of more than 10 by more than 2x.
As shown in the other answer by @Presley, on the badges tab there is a short explanation of each badge and whether or not it can be awarded multiple times.
