Notice the ._ at the start. This is not the original epub file. You have something else creating these bogus files in your calibre library folder.
Unsure how that would happen. I just ran a test. The ._ format comes up in "Unknown Files in Books" when I run "check my library" on metadata (shown as ._metadata) and the cover (as ._cover) of what looks to be all of the broken books. It looks like the accurate epub file (without ._) is coming up under "Extra Book Formats".
