Tested the battery out of the car

Bad battery and some parasitic current on the car, I'd guess. The battery
internal resistance (think of a resistor in series with the battery) could
large relative to the parasitic current path on the car, but negligible
relative to the resistance of the multimeter.

Yes. I tested the good battery and it showed 12.7 volts. positive

Have you confirmed that the leads are correctly connected at the multimeter?
On many modes they can be reversed.

We bought a car a few months ago (an 88 jeep actually). Wasn't running or
driving, needed some work, battery was dead.
Today we finally got it running and driving using a known good battery from
another car.
Set the jeep's battery up on a charger a day or two ago and decided to try
it in the jeep after all we succeeded in getting it running and driving.
Hooked up the positive first, then touching the negative caused a spark!!!!
Double checked that we had the ground to the engine and the positive to the
electrical system.
The multimeter, with the red on the positive terminal and the black on the
negative, read -9.97
Reversed it and got 9.97.
Checked the good battery - no, the multimeter is not broken.
Checked the jeep's old battery again, same results. Good battery - same
results (about 12.97)
What is going on???? how is this possible? Yes, we are replacing the
battery but if someone had told me this story I would have told him he must
have mixed up the terminals, that its not possible.
Can anyone explain this to me?
And yes, we are replacing the battery
