Has My Site Been Hijacked?

I am at a total loss.

My site www.applywidgets.com has been doing well in Google for several months, for "apply widgets". Suddenly it disappeared a month ago from the first 1000 results. When I do a search for the url however, the site is listed somewhere.

In searching for the site, lo and behold I came across another site, with the identical title as my site, listed at #63. When I clicked on the website link, it is a sub-page of another website with a very prominent link to my site. In fact, the entire page is about my site.

Since my site is very content-rich, I do not believe that any malice was intended by the site owner linking to us. I'm wondering however if this very prominent link to my site could have triggered some sort of duplcation penalty.
