Really poor tagging. Also, why does the slideshow reverse when it's done? It just ends up looking weird and confusing because of that.

Because it's my Powerpoint presentation that I wanted to demonstrate.

Not really sure, something funky must have happened with the upload. Original file plays fine on my computer

I wouldn't count these as animations, but rather individual image set made into GIF, aka slideshow, so removing animated in way of that.

Files are served as they are uploaded, no modifications other than filename and checking that extension matches file header so nobody uploads anything nasty.
You can always check that the file on site is the same as it is on your machine by checking MD5 hash. I do this a lot with animated content as it's not always immidiately visible if the file was corrupted during upload.

Looking at the file I do not see anything wrong with it and there's definitely same frames but in reverse after halfpoint. Also there's zero optimization so the filesize is much larger from what it could be. Also considering the amount of gradients in the image, I would suggest utilizing APNG over GIF.

Ahh, makes sense. May have corrupted. Either way though it makes sense to me to make a higher quality apng version. So should I just make that and flag this one as an inferior duplicate?

I doubt corruption, because corruption would mean there's less and/or wrong data, not more data. Because GIF is made out of deliberate frames, they literally can't just reverse themselves.
Just upload APNG, seperate filetypes are allowed so just keep GIF as child or flag it for deletion as inferior.
