I believe the answer is:

noted

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'well known' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'having sporadically done time in' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'time' could be 't' and 't' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'done' is 'noed' which is located in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
