That apostrophe is there because one letter was omitted.
So it is GOOD OLD... For instance, good old days, good old firend...

I have heard this word ol' so many times but don't understand when we exactly use it. Ihave ehard good ol' big ol' ... what does this exactly mean?

Even though "ol'" is a shortened form of "old," when used in "good ol'" or "big ol'", the speaker doesn't literally mean old or aged. It's more of a term of endearment or familiarity.
"This is my friend, good ol' Charlie Brown."
"Billy Bob went fishing this morning and caught a big ol' catfish."
"Ernest didn't mean any harm when he shot at you, he's just a good ol' boy and was having some fun."
