are pigs balls even really supposed to look like that? is there something wrong with our piggy?

Pigs generally have some huge balls even in wild hogs, however the large testes on domesticated swine are largely due to the fact that farmers select for pigs with large gonads as a sign of virility and high testosterone/sperm count.

So in short, no, these are not abnormal for a farm pig, though it also looks young so it just may not have grown into them yet so to speak.
