Hello guys, Can someone please help! I am planning to travel internationally and on my green card (that o recently got) the country of birth is incorrect. Do you think I will have problems traveling abroad and returning home again? Does anyone have experience with this? What do you suggest? I thank you in advance!

This could pose a serious issue as the green card won't match the country's passport. While CBP may be more leniant, the airlines / foreign country's immigration may detain / prevent you from boarding your return flight.
If this issue is due to an USCIS error, I would apply for a correction right away.
Then use that as a legitimate reason to apply for an I-551 stamp at a local USCIS office, so you can travel and enter without the physical green card.Opinion only. Cannot be construed as legal advice.

Just because if someone is born in one country doesn't mean that person is a citizen/passport holder of said country. When I was a GC holder (many moons ago) there was occasions that I entered the US with my passport from Spain even though my GC said I was born in Venezuela. You GC misprint shouldn't matter. Though I would contact USCIS whenever you come back from your trip.
