Not so much a vinyl "collector" as a "still got what I bought back when," no idea if two side 2's is worth more for being "special" or less for being defective. Whims of the market, I suppose.
The original sleeve was a photo montage so that's likely to reduce the value for a serious collector.

Hmm, perhaps I should dust off my copy of Tonto's Expanding Headband.

Is it actually 2 side 2's? That "MIGHT" have some collectible value similar to when a coin is double stamped or mis-stamped. But I also suspect it's more has more sentimental value than market value. One man's junk, another man's treasure and all that......

Eric,
Mistakes like this do not normally add to the value of an album, in fact in many cases on otherwise very valuable albums, they will detract. I have several albums like that that I have collected over the years ( After cutting back, I currently have a collection of about 10,000 LP's).
Now, if the album it's self had been mis-pressed, say, Jim Reeves - <span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-style: italic">Welcome to My World</span></span>, on one side, and Elvis Presley - <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Moody Blue </span></span>on the other, That could be something...

Stampers (the plates with the inverse patterns of the disk's faces) are mounted into a record press at the beginning of a production run. During a production changeover people are generally paying attention so the chances of actually having wrong sides on a disk are very minimal. (Which is why, as Bryan mentioned, it would likely be worth a lot.)
Labels are loaded on the fly, as each disk is pressed, usually by hand (the loading, not the pressing). So it's not surprising that out of the thousands of disks any given (not well paid or well treated) factory worker churned out an occasional label got mixed up.
Double labels and off-center labels are also seen here and there.
Saw In interview recently with a guy that owns a factory that makes records and CD's.
Back in the eighties and nineties, when he was at a party or whatever and somebody asked what he did their next question would be "they still make records?"
There's been a resurgence of vinyl lately. His production volume of records, which took a big dive in the eighties, is back up to where it was sometime in the sixties.
With the onslaught of MP3's and downloads, when he tells people he makes records and CD's their next question is now "they still make CD's?"
