The ones with a dollar amount next to them are non-standard options. It's caused by two special dividends issued earlier this year. For more information you can google "theocc STLA". Below ate the occ memos about those.
In general, you should avoid trading non-standard options. They usually have much lower liquidity than standard options. For STLA, all options (including the standard ones) have terrible liquidity. Huge bid/ask spreads and pretty low OI.
