To answer a question, it is rusty because the chrome plating has been worn away. The ball is structurally in fine shape. The lube wears off while towing --lots of towing -- and there is moisture from rain while towing. Hence the thin film of rust.
What I am gathering from the comments is that this is no big deal, and there is no reason to run out and buy a new ball, stainless or otherwise.
