Here, 나오다 is being used in a very common extended sense.
With pens, pencils, markers, ink, water, sound, and similar things, 나오다 can mean to come out / to flow / to work properly.
So:
- 이 볼펜은 잘 나와요 = This pen writes well / the ink comes out well
- 잉크가 안 나와요 = The ink isn’t coming out
- 물이 잘 나와요 = The water comes out well
In 잘 나와서:
- 잘 = well
- 나오다 = to come out / write properly
- -아서/어서 = because / so
So 잘 나와서 means something like because it writes smoothly or because the ink comes out well.
은 is the topic marker. It marks 이 볼펜 as the topic of the sentence: as for this pen...
So the sentence has the feel of:

If you used 이 볼펜이, it would sound more like you are identifying the pen itself or emphasizing that this pen is the one that writes well, often in contrast with something else.

- 이 볼펜은... = speaking about this pen as a topic
- 이 볼펜이... = emphasizing that this pen is the one that does the action/state
