No, this is the real deal, though its size may be a sign of strange solar happenings. I'm reminded of the NSO paper predicting no visible sunspots by 2015, as the cores are getting warmer. The same paper said the magnetic fields are getting less intense, which makes the spots larger.
The other thing that's far from normal is the solar wind, which is still running only a little over 300 KPS, where 600 used to be the norm. That effects cosmic ray incidence on the Earth.
The Maunder Minimum wasn't completely spotless, especially at the beginning (~1600-1650). I find it amusing that we're being reassured that "it's very unlikely" this is a Maunder style minimum, when astronomers have no idea what caused the first one...
