It was most likely intended as A aug 7 (b9), but as I always insist a
chord name must dictate the scale, it should had been spelled as A7 (b9,
b13), which dictates Mixo b9th, b13th scale used for secondary dominant
in a diatonic harmony.  This isn't limited to jazz, by the way.

This chord is G7(#9, b13) on 7th, or there won't be associated chord
scale for it :-)
