Since there were none minted from steel that year, I would have to assume it is either plated (with silver, zinc, or nickel) which has no collector value, or it was minted on a foreign planchet, which would be worth about $50 You can verify that it is not steel by trying to stick it to a magnet. If it does not stick, then it is not steel.
It has a silver color because it is made out of steel. Copper was needed for the war and was in short supply, so steel pennies were made.
it was probably worth about 1 USD in todays money
Steel is made from iron. We combine a small amount of carbon with iron to get (make) steel.

it depends, often they are made from steel or modern ones stainless steel but there are a few swords used for decoration which are finished or made of silver or even gold.

I have a 1977 penny that can be picked up with a magnet and it is bright gold in color. The detail in the coin is much more detailed than that in a brand new penny. Definition is very, very high.
The 1944 steel penny is worth between $75,000 and $110,000. This steel penny was minted by mistake and there were not a lot of them around.
Steel cents were only struck in 1943. All 1942 cents were made of bronze. A bronze cent will not stick to a magnet; a steel one will.
All modern pennies are made out of zinc. If you are thinking of a 1943 steel penny that is a very common coin that is worth at most a dollar. If you have a 1942 steel penny that is a misprint error made by the mint and is very valuable. (be sure to have it certified by multiple sources including NGC) I hope that this helps.
Check the date again and it should say 1943. This was the only year steel pennies were made. Ask how much a 1943 steel penny is worth and you should find the answer. If an answer doesn't come up there should be on in the related questions section.
The US has never made a one cent coin from silver. Zinc coated steel, not silver.
