That's not an actual 1975-S. Just a 1975 with an engraved S.

That is not a fake nor a proof. Its just a normal Philadelphia cent stamped with an S. Stamped coins aren't worth anything (more than a penny) but you might as well keep it.

A counter-stamped "S" by someone with a sense of humor...

If it is incuse, then it is called a counter stamped coin. The more interesting the message/event pictured, the more interest in these.

Its Raised, not incused...I have NO idea why anyone would spend the time and energy to do this on a common 75 cent....maybe a 1932, yes, but not a 75!  |

This looks like a regular 1975 cent and someone counterstamped an "S" where you would see a mintmark. Obviously someone has a sense of humor.  |

You can see where it is cut into the lapel.

Somebody let Superman know that his "S" has been spotted.
