its worth 1 cent.
It is worth face value unless it is uncirculated.
It's worth 2 cents for the copper.
My guess would be that it was plated with gold (or a gold-colored metal) after minting, and that it is thus worth about a penny.
It's just face value. Millions are still in circulation.
Sorry, It's a novelty coin with no numismatic value.
The U.S. never issued an SBA penny, only $1 coins 1979-81 and 1999. You may have a privately-minted novelty piece.

No. The U.S. has never made a silver penny.
The 1979 Canadian penny was actually released in relatively lower numbers therefore increasing its current value. Depending on the quality of the coin, the 1979 penny has been known to go for as much as $25.00, this is of course for a mint condition coin. For a better estimate of the value of your coin, it is always recommended to have your penny appraised by a professional.
All genuine 1979 cents were struck in bronze. Plating makes it a damaged coin worth only face value. But don't shed any tears - undamaged 1979 pennies found in change are only worth a cent, too.
