There is no such thing as a "ball-pean hammer".

There is, however, a ball-peen hammer, sometimes spelled ball-pein hammer. A peen is part of a hammerhead on a hardened metalworking hammer, opposite the normal flattened striking end (that is, replacing the claw on a carpenter's hammer), and is used to strike a softer metal object to modify its shape. A peen can have any of several shapes, one of the most common being the ball-peen, where the peen is round.

A ball been hammer is often used to set rivets, to expand flat metal into a curve, and to impart its distinctive pattern on metal -- small overlapping depressions, looking a bit like fish scales.

The word "pean" does have two legitimate meanings, but both are rare and somewhat archaic.:

1. Pean is an alternate spelling (in the US only) for "paean", a hymn of praise -- especially one sung in ancient Greece to invoke or thank a deity.

2. In heraldry, "pean" describes fur with "or spots on a field sable" (i.e., gold spots on a black background).
