As a site admin with just the site admin role and no others, you can set up a site badge and click Manual issue by role. Then just pick a role - any role - and you will be allowed to continue to award the badge. You can try on sandbox.moodledemo.net if you like. (I did)
There is a site badge awarder role here: Site badge awarder

Hello Perry. Site admins can award badges - they can indeed do anything - it just that when you select "manual issue by role" there is no site admin there - you dont need to create any new roles or change anything  -you just select one of the available roles -manager for example -and then continue to award the badge. (Site admin is not a "role" as such as they literally can do anything. Remember they don't appear in admin/roles/manage.php)
