Well, if it doesn't, there are several hundred million incorrectly designed coins out there!
And they're normally called Bicentennial dollars, not liberty bell dollars.
Bottom line, it's quite intentional. The design was intended to honor both the country's 200th Anniversary (hence the Liberty Bell) and its scientific progress (hence the moon, because the space program was very active in the 1970s)
Coin designs go through lots of planning and "vetting" before release so it's definitely not a mistake.

Bicentennial, not centennial. 1776-1976 is two hundred years. Bicentennial commemoratives have the Liberty Bell and moon in their design. Other dates have an image of the eagle landing on the moon. In circulated condition these coins are interesting curiosities but have no extra value. Uncirculated copper-nickel ones are worth about $2.

??? Roosevelt is on the dime, not the dollar. If you have a large coin (about 38 mm in diameter) with a picture of an eagle landing on the moon on its back side, you have an EISENHOWER dollar. Assuming it's from circulation, it's made of copper-nickel, not silver, and is only worth face value.
