The [1]7/[3] chord is a so called slash chord. On the left side of the slash you have a chord, on the right side just the lowest tone (bass). This chord is pronounced „[1]7 over [3]”.
The [1]7/[3] consists of the following tones:
[1] (1), [3] (3), [5] (5) und [7] (7).
The bass [3] is part of the chord here. That doesn't always have to be the case in a slash chord!
This major chord with a major 3rd in the bass is often applied when the root or bass note of the next chord is just a half step higher or lower.
Example chord progressions:
[5]m7 [5]m7/[4] [1]7/[3] [m3]/[4]
