software-properties-kde is a program bundled with the KDE desktop environment for configuring what repositories are used for software sources. It requires superuser privileges, hence you are getting the error message to run it with kdesudo software-properties-kde (although I agree the error message is slightly misleading).
However, since you are using the Unity desktop environment, then I'd suggest sticking with the bundled application for configuring software sources that comes with Unity. I would suggest doing this via the GUI. i.e. Software Center > Edit > Software Sources…, similar to this answer.
(Side note: if you run software-properties-kde from the GUI in KDE, i.e. from Muon Software Centre, it will automatically attempt to run with kdesudo.)
