What exact status does accumulated residence lead to?

A permanent resident card of indefinite duration (carte de résident permanent à durée indéterminée); it may be issued from the first renewal application of the (ten-year) resident card.

See recorded sources

What qualifying residence period is required and when does the period begin?

No separate count of years is stated: the permanent resident card can be issued from the first renewal application of the resident card, which is issued for ten years; renewal must be requested within the 2 months before the current card expires.
