What does “unused” mean in sp_spaceused?

The “unused” column in sp_spaceused output does not refer to total unused space for the database. It actually refers to the unused portion of the reserved space for an object. This is why “data” plus “index_size” plus “unused” always equals the value in “reserved”.
