GeoServer reads the shape type from the shapefile header, I never heard of
cases in which the type was misread (but there might be a first for
everything, of course).
If you want to show it as lines just go to into the "publish" tab and
select the "line" style instead of the polygon one.
If you can share the shapefile in question, maybe someone can have a second
look at it
