Can you provide a Pic with the coin sticking to the magnet ? It's hard to see the year although 1943 is the only year they made a Steel cent .

It's been plated and then worn and damaged and that can cause magnetism. Date just doesn't matter it's a badly damaged coin.

Weak magnetism tells you it was plated.
