For instance, a brooch pinned on the left breast portion of a shirt is now seen to be on the right breast portion in the print/photo when the film was developed.
the negative was wrong way round, you can make a right handed baseball batter look like left handed etc
Is it possible for objects in a still image to be in a place other than where it was supposed to be?

Oh, that is easily explained. The photograph reverses the right and left. And what you are seeing is a film negative? If you print a positive, that should again get reversed.

Some one put the negative in the printer with the emulsion facing up. The correct way to print is emulsion to emulsion

Common mistake. In fact, you see it in movies as well. The same effect can happen in digital photos and easily reversed.
Sometimes editors want images reversed for a purpose. Maybe it would look better if the main person in the photo was looking the other way, balancing the other pictures on the same magazine page. Look for pictures where the emblems on shirts or hats are reversed. I’ve also found photos where the hair was parted the wrong way, of a man’s/woman’s shirt was buttoned on the wrong side!
