It’s got a freewheel on one side and a fixed on the other. The freewheel side doesn’t appear to have any notches (instead just a thread?), anyone seen this before? Am I missing something?

It’s just a cheap one, they have no tool to remove them, if ya use a pin spanner to take the cog off and then clamp what’s left into a vice it should turn off pretty handy.
Lots of singlespeed freewheels are not designed to be removable. Luckily there are destructive techniques to remove any freewheel.
Essentially you need to take it apart, then remove what’s left.
Unscrew the ring that has two holes on it (left hand thread), either with a pin spanner or by hitting the holes sideways with a punch and hammer.
Then remove the sprocket, balls, pawls and spring
Then grab the last part in a vise and unscrew by turning the wheel.
Heat and penetrating oil at any step will help as well. Best of luck
