It can function as V7.
Here you can see the tones that make this type of chord:
A major scale=A-B-C#-D-E-F#-G#-A-B-Amaj7(#9)=….1.…..3.…….5...…..7……......#9

So, it is not a flatted 3rd nor an aug2. It is an aug9.
And here is an easy fingering for that chord.

E----------0-----------
B----------X-----------
G----------5-----------
D----------6-------------
A----------4---------------
E----------5-----------------

Other names for that chord can be:
Amaj7#9
Amaj7+9
Amaj7(aug9)


It cant be a dominate 7th because the 7th in his chord is major and in dominate 7 its minor.
Bass guitar is the answer to everything
