1098-T for $25

I received a 1098-T for $25, which is a technology fee.  I don't care about any related tax deductions for this amount. Tuition is waived, because I am a senior citizen and am not getting any credit for the course.  I am only auditing it.  Do I need to file this 1098-T?  My ss# is not printed on the form, which I understand can result in a $50 penalty.  Do I have to have the university amend the 1098-T?  Seems like a waste of time in my case.   I would appreciate any feedback; I have not been able to get through to the SSA.
