Clearly, foo is an instance method.

It is either a buggy instance method, missing the required first parameter, *or* a buggy static method, missing the decorator, making it appear to the interpreter as an instance method even though it it not.

 I know one should use @staticmethod for
declaring a method static. The question here is, given the above code, is
there any way to call foo?

Fix the bug, whichever deficiency you regard as the bug.
