Film camera went past 24 exp. On a 24 exp. Roll of film, what's happening? Won't automatically rewind?

Hi, so I recently purchased a secondhand Nikon lite touch zoom 70w film camera. I loaded a 24 exp. Roll of film into it and have been taking photos over the past few days since, but today I managed to take an extra shot - the number on the display says 25 now but I know the roll I purchased has only 24 exposures so what is up? I have the manual for the camera and it says that when the roll is finished the camera automatically rewinds itself and when the letter "E" appears on the display only then is the back safe to opened and the roll to be removed, but obviously it hasn't automatically rewinded. This is my first time using a film camera so I'm unsure of how to proceed. I really do not want to lose any of the photos on this roll because of sentimentality and all that. What should I do to save them, what is the issue?
