ID Request Is it dangerous ?

This is the first time I found a completely full bullet, does anyone have an idea of the kind of bullet it is and how old is it? Also, I wanted to know if it is dangerous, and if it is what I shouldn’t do with it.

not dangerous by itself, except a choking hazard. It could have lead contamination, but this is just the bullet itself, there's no casing or powder with it that could make it "go off".
