Red cents are the ones that are brand new and mint state.
This kind of red, is a form of environmental damage. A rust that makes the coin look red. It was probably underground at some point. I had a photo of some very red ones that I dug up, but of course I can't find it. The 1964 penny in the center, and the dollar coin on the end. And the red Sacagawea.

 

Looks like a normal 1975 cent, with a bit of environmental exposure.

 

Environmental Damage.....

 

It’s only worth one cent.

 

I agree with the other guys but id you like it keep it.

That is actually Brown

 

Neat.

Now here is a different kind of issue that could make it darker.
From my collection

 

Is that a mislabel? As the 2009 is a Native American Dollar
with the 3 Sisters on the reverse. Even though it has Sac on the obverse,
it's an NAD coin.
