It's not technically a palm tree at all. It is a King Sago aka Cycas revoluta. Sagos belong to an very ANCIENT family of plants that predate the dinosaurs by tens of millions of years.
Your specimen is decades old to be as large as it is and appears to be thriving. Brown tips on the fronds may be a sign of stress or deficiency. Feed your cycad with a palm special fertilizer per the directions on the bag.
There's no need to straighten your cycad either. It will eventually grow a curved trunk to compensate for the lean. You can however dig up the "pup" beneath it and transplant it elsewhere without hurting the mother plant.
If you are located in Florida you need to keep an eye on your plant for Asian Cycad Scale a white scale insect that infests cycads and liter rally sucks the life out of them.
Thats a date palm.
looks like a short Queen palm...those fronds on the bottom need to be cut off...so do the brown ones on the top...it's very short and tilted...If it were me...I'd dig it out, eventually it will fall over and die anyway. Palms don't have LONG root systems like trees...their roots are extremely shallow. They should be planted up right (and kept that way to grow properly).
They like the heat and sandy soil. (too much water and they might die.)
It looks like a Canary Palm.
