Is this a deformed galaxy or a glitch?

It's definitely a galaxy, I think a spiral.

If you want to build some chops on identifying galaxies, you can help out in the crowd sourcing project that is classifying the galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (which is where most of Google Sky comes from). Check out:
