This type of error of misstruck coins is called 'Brockage'. A Lincoln penny with this error is valued at $35.00
Well, it should have rims on both sides and be properly struck, so I'd say it's worth 1 cent. If the rims seem higher than normal, it may be an early strike from a new set of dies. Coin Market lists a retail value of 25 cents for either 1978 P or 1978 D Lincoln Cents in Premium Uncirculated condition.
A U.S. Lincoln cent in average circulated condition 10 to 50 cents.
They cost about $8.95 at novelty shops. Look at it with an 8X magnifier and you should be able to find the seam where one coin was hollowed out and another ground down to fit inside.
