So this is a source from Ancestry: https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=pennchurch_ga&indiv=try&h=67322 whose citation references a FamilySearch historical record database.
Looking in the database for Pennsylvania births, it looks like the equivalent record is here: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:V2N5-WHT
Looking at the documentation for that record you see this:
So this comes from microfilm 20489.
Going to the FamilySearch catalog and searching for that microfilm, you get these result: https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/results?count=20&query=%2Bfilm_number%3A20489
The first item is this: https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/221236?availability=Family%20History%20Library
The first section in that item is the one that is has been indexed, so that is where the record will be found:

So if you go to a Family History Center or an affiliate library, you can go to this catalog entry, open the film, and scroll through it to find the microfilm image of the original record.
