Yeah, it is apposition. Read more references. Like I said, I wouldn't have punctuated it that way, but it wouldn't set off the alarm that it apparently did with the OP.
As for "style": there are things that are wrong ("This is rong!") and things that are perhaps non-standard, perhaps just personal preference--or the appropriate choice for the use of the document. Formal writing has its own style. I'm afraid that "I think style is usually used in literature" just tells us that you don't understand what style is.
It's also minor enough that it could be, you know, a typo. If the entire page was written that way, it would be more jarring and more worth pointing out.
FWIW: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Comma splice? Or great writing? You be the judge. And yes, that's literature. Machs nicht.
