 He is your partner of how many years? If it's a new relationship it might feel a little odd for you, but I'd say as long as your parents are OK with it, I don't see the big deal.
So what IS the problem?
I call my FIL - Dad. Which means I have two "DADS" my own father(which I actually call by his first name, because THAT is how I was raised) and my FIL.

He calls your parents mum and dad because he doesn't have anyone who he can say it to - this must be really hard for him, growing up without someone he can confide in and get experienced advice from. However, if it begins to get out of hand and he starts TREATING your parents like his parents, then maybe you should mention it. Don't be hard on him, though :)
