The "supercomputers" come in different sizes; they make them larger every time. The whole point of a supercomputer is to process data quickly. If a lot of data is needed, most of it would probably be stored separately, in some database system. For example, the Babar database has about 900 Terabyte (that is, almost a Petabyte) of data stored; I don't now if there is an associated supercomputer, but I read something about 100 computers, with a total of 2000 processors, used to manage the database; I guess this cluster would qualify as a supercomputer.
The situation is similar with Google, and similar online services. The data is shared among hundreds or thousands of computers, but since they work together, they would also qualify as a supercomputer. I would venture a guess that Google's database is larger than Babar's, but as far as I know, there is no published data on this particular point.
