That does look swollen to me. I think you need to have it checked by a vet. They can get orchiditis which is an infection of the testicle and also more dangerously a torsion or twist cause the blood supply to be cut off. They can also get tumours.
Don't let him near the female. If not in heat she will attack him and they can kill the other hamster. It is also not a good idea to have them mate if she was in heat An older hamster can die if pregnant over about 8 -9 months with complications.
I hope you can get him seen soon.
