The shape was likely created by the way this balloon was constructed. There are clearly several baffles inside it; probably multiple separate compartments.

I don’t see any reason that it could not maintain the “saucer” shape if it the compartments were well made.

Think of it this way. If you filled it with water and held it upside down, what shape would it take? It will try to reach a teardrop shape as best it can.
