The union is bounded but is not a closed set: the points $-1+1/n$, $n\ge 2$, belong to the open disc and tend to $-1$, which lies in neither disc. Thus it is not compact by the Heine-Borel theorem.

Nevertheless it is connected, indeed path-connected. Every point of the open disc joins $0$ by a straight segment. The segment from $0$ to $1$ stays in the union, since its points before the endpoint belong to the open disc and the endpoint $1$ belongs to the closed disc. Every point of that closed disc joins $1$ inside it by convexity. Concatenating these paths joins any two points of the union. The fact that the two discs are disjoint does not imply disconnection: their contact point belongs to one of them. This illustrates connectedness at a one-sided contact point.
