The pipe going into the hose bib looks to be copper. It is possible that the hose bib is "sweat" or soldered onto the copper itself. If you remove the ground clamp that is around the hose bib we could get a better look at what you have going on there. That is a ground for electrical, phone, or cable lines in your house. Once removed you will be able to see if the hose bib is soldered or threaded on to the copper. It may be either male or female iron pipe thread going into the hose bib. But without removing the ground clamp it is impossible to see. Hopefully it is threaded then all you would have to do is turn off the water to the house and spin it off teflon tape the threads and spin a new one on and turn back on the water.
