I’t’s not really my area (‘supermemory’ is not a term I am familiar with) but I have heard of Hyperthymesia, which refers to people with ridiculously good memories which sounds like the same thing. Hyperthymesia is hard to study as so few people receive this classification, but they do appear to exist, so in that sense yes I believe in super-memory.
To add to what Warren and Alex said, there is a hypothesis that there are people that “never forget a face”, “superrecognisers” – although the evidence in this area, I believe, is mixed – have a look for more info here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_recogniser
