What is this kind of video artifact called? And how is it most effectively fixed?

Triple ghosting. Probably unfixable if you don't have "original" video.
Anyway, you need to share a video sample if you want the better answer.

Ghosting / Blending artifacts, probably caused by deinterlacing through blending fields together see: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinterlacing#Illustration

And how is it most effectively fixed?

if the original frames/fields that got blended together are also part of the video: removing the blended frames for example with sRestore (Avisynth/Vapoursynth) otherwise I would recommend trying ExBlend (Avisynth: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=175948) or best deleting the file.

Maybe that ghosting is an intentional special effect done by a prominent director.

That is only reason I'm asking for a sample, everyone knows that we can fix videos with the help of a crystal ball + a hair from a director.
