In my opinion, there is no difference in meaning between the two. "I should be going" may be considered to be more formal.

To me, 1 means 'I should leave (I've been here long enough/I don't want to miss my bus)'.
2 means 'I should make a start (I've thought about it long enough; it's time for action)'.
