Many will call them blems or seconds.

Often there is not problem with the ball other than color or as you said a long pin. But they can be odd weights, mis-marked, under sized, etc. But I believe they are legal for ABC play.  

The only real danger I would know of is often the warranty is not in effect.

Could be undersized too.
