Poor Precious! In a senior dog, I would be concerned that his swollen testicles could be due to testicular cancer. It could also be caused by injury or infection in that area. Drinking a lot of water can be a sign of a medical illness such as diabetes, UTI, Cushing's disease, kidney failure, or bladder stones. If his testicles are quite swollen and are causing him a lot of discomfort, I would have him seen by a vet right away. Otherwise, have him seen by a vet first thing in the morning.
