Sorry, but there is no way that some kind of accident in the mint or in the process of making a coin can cause a portrait to become deformed like this. Whatever caused it, it is not a mint error.
Cupronickel doesn't turn black easily, and this coin has turned black. The black staining, combined with the heavy scratches which were presumably caused by someone attempting to use steel wool or sandpaper to remove even more black staining, indicate to me that this coin has suffered from some kind of severe environment. Intense heat would explain both the black corrosion and the deformed portrait - it's a heat blister.
