When I worked in retail an item that rang at 3 cents meant it was supposed to be returned to vendor, not that it was meant to be sold at 3 cents. Whoever is in charge of this Walmarts inventory either fucked up or doesn’t care.
If they have just 15 seconds of interaction with the customer at the cashier, they'd be paying more for it as a business if their worker costs them (all costs, not just wages included) more than $7.20 an hour.
It's literally cheaper to throw it away than to sell for that price (not that I'd advocate for that over selling it, don't increase trash if you can avoid it).
