I don't think there's much you can do for the black spots. I believe they're called carbon spots. This one is just a spender to me.

Well it seems there is evidence of the post on the left side so not a true floating roof coin. And during polishing the FG initials do become worn (like yours) or gone also.
So really no need to worry about the black spots as the cent is just a spender. BUT, if you want to try to work on the black spots you can try a soak in pure (100%) acetone ($) then buy a $15.00 bottle of Verdi-care and try that also. (Much cheaper to just spend it though )

EDIT: Or just keep as is untill you find a better example.

Funny, it's actually easier to see coin characteristics in full picture of reverse than in the close ups. But, I have noticed things on some of my own coins when looking at the full picture, too.

Interesting find. Keep as an example, but look for a better one to keep permanently.
