I have no idea if this is normal? I think the bearing is in dire need for replacement?
Please help, how do I replace the bearings here?

Hit it with your purse.
You need the correct tools to remove and replace the bearings. Start Googling!
These hearings are toast. Have you any idea what’s the manufacturer of that hub? Looks like a formula hub to me. Please show a picture from the other side.
Did you have to remove a end cap by twisting it clockwise?
They usually just knock out and push back in. If you know the make and model you might find specific instructions, but it’s usually quite straightforward to replace them.
The axle your spinning is flared on the backside of the bearing. Smack the end with a hammer and it till start to push the bearing out. Once removed you can then hit the remaining bearing in the other direction.
Installing the first bearing is easy, but then you need to slide the axle in before installing the second bearing. Do the drive side first, that way there is less axle in the way when you go to do the disc side.
