What does the skimlinks-unlinked and data-skimwords-word means? Are these normal organic links and valuable?

Skimlinks is a automated affiliate marketing company.  My first guess it whatever cms they are using (word press?) is using a plug in that automaticly put that into all there links.

google might recognise it as an affiliate link and therefore unnatural and so reduce or remove its seo value.
