From what I see, you just have the standard needed ports open that Plesk does use.

shouldn't this ports be closed or blocked or its normal they are open?

It is normal and desired to have them open, else typical services like web or mail won't work.

Let me guess, they offered their service to 'solve' that for you? Don't get fooled. Those ports are supposed to be open, else your server won't function properly.

Hackers can use any port if the service on that port isn't secured properly. But closing ports isn't (usually) a solution for keeping hackers out. You can read more about securing you Plesk server here.
