It is 97.5% zinc with a thin 2.5% copper coating. I can not see your coin very well for picture so blurry. But likely the copper coating is gone or well worn

I got one once that someone had apparently applied a thin layer of
chrome to, likely with electrolysis.
Maybe your penny is similar - a coin someone applied an additional layer to.

Welcome aboard. We did science experiments in grade school coating pennies by soaking them in something. I don't remember exactly what but they came out looking gold and silver depending on the solution. My guess is it's one of those that was experimented on.
