You asked:
"How does this galaxy change formation theories?"
I think that the present standard theory of galaxy
formation is WRONG. There is no cutoff in distribution
of H-M's black-holes "towards" the Big Bang start !!!

[quote]The galaxy, named HUDF-JD2, is seen as the universe was only
about 800 million years old. The universe today is about 13.6 billion
years old.
"This galaxy appears to have 'bulked up' amazingly quickly, within a
few hundred million years after the Big Bang," said Bahram Mobasher of
the European Space Agency and the Space Telescope Science Institute.
"It made about eight times more mass in terms of stars than are found
in our own Milky Way today, and then, just as suddenly, it stopped
forming new stars. It appears to have grown old prematurely."

If this young galaxy is so massive and so red like an old galaxy, would
that push back the age of the Universe several billion years?
