Well I was trying to read a schematic that shows not only the electronic diagrams but also the pcb itself, the pcb has two sides (I guess) because the side that is shown was labelled as “component side” but the problem is that in the component side shows the traces that I found on the other side of the board and on the component side all the board was covered with musk. Is there any traces that was hidden under the musk (in the real component side) or all the traces of the board was only on the other side and the schematic show’s it like “a glass view” so that you have visual of the two sides simultaneously? Sorry if the question is silly but I’m new to all this 🙂
Traces can be on both sides, but if you give a link we can be sure if there are any traces on top.
Well that’s nice thanks for your answer, just one more thing all the traces routes a part to another or more etc(mostly linear). But i
also saw some traces that goes nowhere (mostly circulars) did I miss something? is these goes to somewhere?

Probably a weak effort at shielding an adjacent conductor.
Don't get too anxious about this ancient design. Modern pcbs are designed rather differently.
Back then it was actually cheaper to use a single sided board with jumpers on the top side.
Now it's cheaper (and better) to use a double sided board, often with a ground plane.
Through-hole parts are a distinct minority in most modern electronic designs.
