Not enough information. I guess you use an LVM setup on top of HW raid? In that case swap would be on its own LV that you could extend after shrinking the root LV. Full swap in general isn't a problem. Its only a problem if your swap is constantly swapping (so lots IO writing to the swap).

Its likely that Linux noticed that a tiny portion of memory is never being accessed and moved it into swap. 8GB is less than 1% of your system RAM, so its unlikely that you will experience any ill-effects.
On the other hand, there is really not much point in having 8GB swap for a 1TB RAM system.
You can run "swapon -s" command from PVE shell to learn about swap location and its usage.
Another helpful command is "free".
