I just noticed my pure fighter has PALDIN type skills/spells. What the heck?

Since when could a level 8 fighter Lay Hands? He doesnt have turn undead but he has 4-5 spells to choose from. *Boggle*

Are you sure it is lay-on-hands and not cure light wounds? If you played through BG1, you will notice your character gains "spells" through BG 1's dream sequences (not BG 2 though), it is normal. And when you create a character from scratch in BG 2, you will get 6 spells in your special ability. This is normal and you are not a paladin.

If the curative spell icon is a blue cross then it's simply a cure light wounds but if it's a pair of blue hands then it's lay Hands On, and fighters certainly do not have lay hands on

...you are probably just mistaken

And if you are a paladin, you are likely going to have "detect evil" and "protection from evil" as innate abilities.

Actually, if you check your Manual, you will see that quite a few classes, at higher levels, obtain some spell casting ability, though only lower level, as well as gaining abilities via the 'star' button.

Some classes do gain spells and abilities, But definately not a Pure Fighter. Your special abilities depend on your alignment, like if you were chaotic evil you'd get minor drain and a few other offensive spells. Also, if your healing ability increases in potency over time and casts instantly, its Lay-on-Hands. IF it has a casting time and does not improve, its Heal Light Wounds.
