Looks more like a model of a small resistor. Only the tiniest THT resistors and inductors have this shape because normal-sized ones’ wire-wound or vapor-deposited cylinders are long enough to get both terminals encased in resin separately as opposed to dunking all of it into a blob. And resistors of this size can have their entire datasheets printed onto them, color bands are again just a space-saving measure. Not to mention, the only reason it would need to be this bulky is power rating, and a sphere is the least ideal option for heat dissipation.
