C-u just allows you to pass a numeric argument to an otherwise
interactive function.  

  C-u 1 C-SPC
    is the same as
  (set-mark-command 1)

According to the univeral-argument help:

  C-u without digits or minus sign provides 4 as argument.

So, 

  C-u C-SPC
    is the same as
  (set-mark-command 4)
