Scratch that, I think I got it.
The potential of an object (or at least a point charge) is the potential difference (caused by its "electricity-ness") between the position which it occupies and infinity.
The first bit seems to have been implied and caused confusion due to the object being spherically-shaped with a non-negligible radius.
