Penalty because of logo banner in sidebar of external website?

Dear mozzers,

One of our pages is not ranking (well). I wrote another question about this here on Moz.

I just discovered that there is an external website that has a banner to our page in the sidebar. The banner is on every 134+ pages of that site. It is in a banner slider and only show for a few seconds every now and then. The link is not "nofollow". It seems that our page dropped from Google slightly after this banner was added. However I am completely sure about this.

The link is over here in the banner carousel/slider in the sidebar: http://www.wierszowisko.com/

My questions are:

1. Could this banner log cause a penalty for our page?
2. If so what can we do to undo this?
3. Ask the webmaster to remove the link?
4. Disavow on Google? How does this exactly work?

The website linking to you shows a low spam score. I don't think this is the cause of your problems. Seems you are looking for a cause of the ranking drop but I doubt it is because of this website with a low spam score. I can't read Polish but just analyzing the site that is what it is telling me.
