Lincoln has been on the FRONT of the one cent coin from 1909 to the present. The Lincoln Memorial design was introduced in 1959 and if you look very closely you can see a tiny image of his statue between the center columns. So, to be very technical about it Lincoln's image was put on the back of the cent in 1959.
That really depends in what country and what year the penny was minted.

Most likely the image you see on your penny is John F. Kennedy. These Lincoln/Kennedy novelty items were popular advertising items back in the 70's. This is not something done at the Mint. Somebody took a stamp and manually counterstamped Kennedy's image onto the penny after it left the mint. These novelty items generally sell for about a dollar. Dan
