Vulgar error. This standard phrase preserves the original (Latin) sense of vulgar, viz. popular or common.

I call it a mental typo or an editing error because I do know the difference. I never make that error when I am writing but my fingers type familiar patterns sometimes regardless of what they are supposed to be doing, plus I can't edit my own work properly.

I would say it's probably both, but I would lean toward calling it a spelling error.
The error is caused by the placement of the punctuation, but since the possessive form of it and the contraction of "it is" are homonyms, I'd tend to lump it together with misspellings. Semantically, it's similar to confusing their and there, which would
