I'm not getting the question. Is this a bad scan? or the best scan you can get? What do the negatives look like?

If the whole roll looks bad and it's negative film, the negatives look dense and red then this would be what bleach contamination of colour developer looks like.

Difficult to say.
There's more to this photography thing than meets the eye.

The sky is blue, the water too.. It looks fine to me.  :)
At what time of the day was the image taken?

FWIW, I've gotten that cyan cast in shots with Kodak color negative film taken in bright, reflective conditions (like around water, especially when it's hazy). Since I don't tend to meter, I've chalked it up to overexposure.
Any man who can see what he wants to get on film will usually find some way to get it;
and a man who thinks his equipment is going to see for him is not going to get much of anything.

It almost looks as if it's on the way to being solarized...

I like it.  It's one of those things I wish I could repeat!

This is pretty cool ! I like it!

I really like the colours here. It reminds me of the era of hand-painted photographs or b/w slide with added tint...

Unless it was badly stored before you bought it (it happened to me with Fuji film from Costco many years ago), the one year past due wouldn't matter much.
