I notice that my 27 inch iMac (2019) shakes the tiniest bit at my standing desk when typing.

The hinge feels pretty secure, but if I push slightly on any of the four corners, I can make the screen slightly move without the hinge moving at all.

Is that normal?

Also, when standing in front of the iMac and lifting it up to move it, the stand swings to the back pretty easily.

Is that normal?

Again, it’s pretty stable, but it’s not rock solid which I assume is due to the massive size.
 
All normal. Some of the older iMac 27" models did have hinge problems where the entire display would tip over back or forward. Apple repaired those for free even if the machine was out of warranty.

They are notorious to breaking - they use plastic clips on the slim hinges.
But yeah I believe they still have a repair programme for it
