It does not have a Gold Piece value and is not an Item. Also, you can't play Senseless Act of Kindness on yourself to discard your own Steed; you just get a level.

If a monster Steed is stolen from a Ranger, even by another Ranger, it goes to the discard pile. The only way to make a monster into a Steed (as always, unless a card says something else specifically that overrides this rule) is to be a Ranger and use the Ranger ability to tame the monster.
