What if a planchet fell into or under some machinery in 1940 or 1966 (pick any year) but wasn't discovered until they moved the machinery years later. Hounddog Bill, The RCM Didn't start producing coins for foreign countries until 1970. They did strike coins for Jamaica post WWI and Newfoundland coins, but those don't fall in the same composition/weight range as small cents struck in 1975. OP's coin being struck on a 2.70g Rolled-Thin planchet seems fitting, it is an error as the normal weight should be 3.24g and it is missing -0.54g well outside of the mint tolerance range, which is +0.15g / -0.15g.
