If you check other bulb sockets you will see the same. And it is a 3 way bulb, meaning two filaments that are turned on separately or together to get different light levels. You can use a normal bulb in a three way socket, you just won’t get the different light levels you get from a three way bulb. But you can still buy 3 way bulbs, they are just more expensive. You didn’t say size of the socket; if it is too big for a normal bulb, then it is a Mogul bulb and again you can buy a new Mogul bulb, but they are expensive so a cheaper alternative is to buy one of the adapters I talked about earlier.
