Welcome...and this is just a typical plated zinc cent...the zinc under the copper layer is corroding causing the "puffy" appearance. This is also in the wrong forum...should be in the Modern section as well as "errors"
Nothing unusual. Many, many of the Cents from the 80's are all messed up. Many have a lumpy almost second rim running through the letters and numbers. Many have faded lettering on the Reverse. Many have a double line for a rim. All in all, Cents from the 80's are a disaster. Yours looks better than most.
