No idea what the story behind this is. It’s a single gang coax box, and just a hole next to it. Looks like previous owner started to patch the drywall by putting the backer in but gave up.

It’s not deep enough for a double gang. Are you just going to cut that wall stud? Anyways, do you have an application for double gang? Are you going to do the wiring yourself? Will it overload your breaker? Do you know what you’re doing? Patch it unless the answers to these questions support another gang. Patching is easier anyways.
Its not a stud, its a piece of fiber board screwed into place. I’m guessing it was supposed to be backing for a patch that never happened. The double gang would be empty, just a blank wall plate, or half existing coax and half blank
Oh, well that’s definitely easier then, assuming you can mount it to the current stud without it feeling jiggly.
Edit: bonus is that you’ll have a slot there if you want to run speaker wire or something in the future
