Same room, then it's definitely not perceptual! And too hot to touch is definitely
not just a voltage difference caused by corrosion!
I'd say you have a ground fault in that 1978 outlet, and it really needs to be fixed
before it causes a fire or a deadly shock.
Or it could be wired across both ''hot" wires instead of from one hot to neutral.
This would give 220 V instead of 110. Again it urgently needs to be fixed.
