I have got a penny and need your experts opinions on what kind of errors these are. Raised line on the front with some chips and 'mint error' on the back to the left of the building?

The raised line is called a " Ridge Ring" and is evidence of Die Deterioration.

@far, first welcome to CCF. Second, that looks like Ridge Ring to me on the front, which is not an error but rather due to the mint using dies near the end of their useful life.

Thank you for welcoming and explaining the line.
What about the error on the back? What could it be?

Between K7 and K10 it looks like the copper plating has split due to the force of the strike.

Fairly common to see, particularly right at the rim which is a high stress area for the metal.
