It is honorific (base form ~시다), which means you are directing it at, or talking about someone other than yourself. It is used to show respect and often used when talking to strangers or to/about elderly people.

When you conjugate a verb informally and then add 야 해요 to it, it means "I have to _____". For example: 먹다 in present tense informally is 먹어, and then you add 야 해요 making 먹어야 해요 Other ones are: 보다 (to see) ------> 봐야 해요 멈추다 (to stop) -------> 멈춰야 해요 In this case, we use the verb 가시다 which is the honorific version of the verb 가다 [to go] so it means 'It is raining so you have to go quickly" with the honorific verb 가시다.
