3 prong shock

Went to test a new 3 prong plug to see if it fit right and a big shock came out. There is a little burnt mark on the receptacle and a spec on the plug only one one prong. did this happen because it was not attached and grounded to anything? Can it still be used?? New regular maytag coming wed. Guy at the store said this would fit so i tried it anyhow. The other plug is like 25 years old so the new 3 prong is the same but a spec bigger?. Yikes I'm sure many people do not know not to plug a dryer plug in if nothing attached at the other end?
