Welcome to Radio Galaxy Zoo, Jakub21! 😃
This is a somewhat distorted #double, with the jet of the N component rather more visible than in most doubles. The two radio sources come from the one host galaxy, the faint IR smudge in between the lobes, which may be (zph 0.329 ± 0.0895) SDSS J121623.67+242843.7, which is so faint it may not even be real:
Hope this helps, and happy hunting! 😄
