A Stack is defined in the game manual as "A set of two or more Connected Scoring Objects." Because the Beam is the only Scoring Object in this example, it does not qualify as a Stack.

However, as described in SC3c (bold added for emphasis),

A Beam is Connected if it is fully nested to one or more Connected Pins and/or the Standoff Goal and is not touching a Robot.

This example would receive 10 points for a Connected Beam.
