Can't jump start car. Welded metal to strut bolt?

Hi,

I just tried jumping my '17 with a dead, original battery. When I attached the last point (negative on dead car's strut nut), there were sparks and the cable got hot so I disconnected everything.

It looks like theres some metal welded to the strut bolt... does anyone know what's going on? I've never had trouble jump starting a car before.
