A fully-rotated reverse could be worth a considerable amount of money, but you would need to have the coin authenticated first. Many fake rotated die coins are now being produced using the same high-tech machining methods that create those (in)famous "double headed" and "double tailed" coins that cause such a fuss when someone spends them.
Rotation types:Nearly all US Coins use what's called "coin rotation". That is, the front and back are oriented 180 degrees to each other, so one side appears upside down when the coin is flipped like a book page, and both are right-side up when flipped like a calendar.The majority of countries use what's called "medal rotation", where both sides point the same way, just like a medal that's oriented so it can be hung from a lanyard or chain.
Neither rotation type is "right" or "wrong". They're just 2 different approaches.

By "upside down", do you mean that the eagle is upside down when you flip the coin side to side, like the pages of a book, or top to bottom, like a calendar? Compare your dollar to any coin in your pocket change. If the eagle is upside down when flipped side to side, just like the other coins, you have a normal silver dollar worth maybe $12 to $15 depending on condition. If it's upside down when flipped like a calendar, you could have a mint error that needs to be checked by a specialist. Note that nearly all U.S. coins use what's called "coin rotation", where the front and back (obverse and reverse) are opposite in orientation. Some other countries (Canada, U.K., EU, for example) use "medal rotation" where the obverse and reverse point the same direction. It's just a matter of what each issuer's mints chose to use.
All 1967 US quarter dollars have the eagle upside down.
If it's a 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollar it's not silver and I'm going out on a limb to say that the eagle isn't upside-down either. ALL U.S. coins minted since the 19th century have the front and back oriented 180º to each other so that the sides point oppositely when a coin is flipped side to side like the page of a book.
Eisenhower was on the one dollar coin, and it's worth one dollar.

Yes.

All U.S. coins have the reverse image upside down to the obverse. Look at any other coin you have. It's just 50 cents.
No. All US dollar coins have the reverse side of the coin 180 degrees in rotation from the obverse side of the coin.
Upside down is relative to which way you flip the coin. If flipping from top to bottom, the eagle should be upright. If flipping from side to side, the eagle should be upside-down. If the eagle is truly upside down from the way it should be, AND the coin has not been altered, then it could be worth a couple of hundred dollars.
ALL U.S. coins have the back side inverted with respect to the front.
No. They are all upside down. The mint strikes each side of the coin 180 degrees in rotation from each other.
