her laptop is not on stand by, it is in hibernate, it shuts down non essential systems and goes into a state of hibernation, since she is still using the wireless connection, this is not shut down and thusly is still connected :)

if she presses the power button to enter the mode, then she is putting the laptop to sleep, if she presses it again, does it restore her desktop to how it was before she pressed the button (programs and webpages are restored?)

its completely normal, sleep is shutting down non essential hardware and isnt a problem, if she is worried about being online, i can only suggest that she closes the open browser windows so the laptop can shut down the network adaptor as it wont be in use when the browser is not open :)
