Does a meta description affect SEO rankings?

Not directly. Google has stated that meta descriptions do not factor into their ranking algorithm. However, a compelling description drastically improves your CTR, which is a positive signal.

What happens if it's too long?

Search engines will cut it off with an ellipsis (...), which can result in an incomplete thought and lower click rates.
