The "Save as" menu reproject the layer geometries.

But every tool will lead to wrong results if you do not set the correct
srs first.

The layer has a wrong .prj file so QGIS is wrong about the layer srs.
The first thing you have to do is tell QGIS what the correct srs is,
using the properties dialog. After that everything should work well.
