What is the meaning of a number in brackets after a struct declaration?

I recently encountered text of the form

struct {
    double a, b, c;
}[123];

What exactly does this do? Is this even proper C?

This is an ill formed code. Compiler will raise syntax error. There should be an identifier before [123]. 

struct {
    double a, b, c;
} a[123];

This will declare a as an array of 123 struct { double a, b, c; }.
