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.

You’re patching the right side no matter what since there’s a stud there. TBH, it all looks bad.
I’d square out the thing, put whatever size box fits (I’m assuming a single gang) that uses adjustable tabs to attach to the drywall, then patch whatever is left. With the stud there you probably don’t need to worry about adding blocking.
Its not a stud, just a piece of fiber board screwed into place. Likely to be used as backing for a patch that never came. I’d just unscrew it and then swap to a double gang after cleaning up the hole
