Best guess from that pic is it's a regular link that has started to come apart. I'd drive out the pins and replace with a quick link. I've never had problems mixing and matching brands of chain/link.
However, if the chain keeps slipping, I'd suggest that's more down to overall wear than that one link. Probably drivetrain replacement time.
Mate assking me to fix his chain that keeps slipping. It’s 9-speed shimano Altus on a cheap carrera Halfords job. Can anyone tell from the photo whether the chain link is bent or the chain pin has bent. If that makes sense (just trying to diagnose whether to get a quick link or a set of 9-speed pins)
Edit: Also will as standard KMC 9-speed quick link work on a chain like this?
