It's not aluminum, it's zinc. The only time aluminum cents were made was 1974, and these were experimental pieces never put into circulation.
Since mid-1982 all cents have been made of zinc with a thin outer coating of copper. There are 3 ways a cent can appear to be "silvery" in color.
1. It's been plated for use in jewelry. In this case it's an altered coin worth only 1¢.
2. Someone dipped it in acid which removed the copper coating. Again, only worth 1¢.
3. The zinc core was never plated at the Mint. This is a scarce error coin that can sell for up to $100.
Unfortunately it's not easy to tell the difference. You'd need to have the coin inspected in person by a dealer who handles error coins.

Easy - there isn't one, because the U.S. never minted a silver penny. Bronze, copper, cupronickel, zinc, and steel cents have all been issued but never a silver one. In any case a silver penny would be worth more than a dime!Bottom line, you coin was plated for use in jewelry or something similar, so it's still just a penny.
