Should a record have more information than this?

[Chris Anderson]

I was hoping it would state where the parents were from but this is all it says....

Baptisms, Sunderland District
Record Number: 488668.0
Location: Sunderland
Church: Robinson's Lane Meeting House
Denomination: Presbyterian (Scotch)
20 Dec 1799 Peter Anderson of Robinson Lane, born 18-Dec 1799, son of Andrew & Margaret Anderson

It was purchased from Durham Records Online.

Could the physical record hold more info or is that it?

I'd imagine that's it. However Durham Records Online are usually extremely helpful, and if you emailed them they could well tell you if there is any more information.

A Church of England Baptism in County Durham at that time would usually give the native parishes of the parents, but this ruling wouldn't extend to the Presbyterian Church.
