I guess some people in the US call someone beyond their 12th grade in high school, or fourth year in an undergraduate program a "super senior."

I've literally never heard or read that. So I would say no.
I'm American and I have heard "super senior" and seen it used in print. Go figure.
It's certainly a real term. The context is often student athletes that intentionally didn't play their sport for a season (called redshirting) to maintain their 4-year eligibility so that they can stay for a fifth year and compete in their sport.
I'm a college prof in the US and know that term.
