Why does math.random give me huge number when i set its limit to 255?

Color3.new() ranges from 0 to 1. You have to divide the R, G and B by 255 or use the range 0 to 1;
game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new( math.random(), math.random(), math.random() )

While this is correct, I'd like to just add that passing an argument to this function is redundant for this specific situation, since math.random() alone will return a number ranging from 0 to 1.

You are correct
The parameters to Color3.new are actually between 0 and 1, not 0 and 255 (as you might guess from the Properties tab).
As a result, you should use numbers from 0 to 1 instead of 0 to 255:
frame.BackgroundColor3 =
Color3.new(math.random(), math.random(), math.random())

When using Color3, you have to divide your number by 255. So math.random(1,255)/255. Alternatively, you could just use math.random() and it will give you random colors.
