Extension cord that has receptacle with reversed wiring?

[Stan97]

I have an extension cord that I was planning on using but I noticed that the wiring in the receptacle has backwards coloring from my plug. The black and white wires are reversed.

The receptacle is also backwards from my wall outlet.

Do I need a different extension cord?
