To think I've been hacked

Posting for traffic, sorry. I was trying to recover an old YouTube account but couldn't find the username anywhere. I googled the first part of my email + YouTube and one page came up in the results. The search result preview for this page showed a list of people's emails and passwords, including my email and an old password I used to use. I stupidly clicked the page out of pure shock. It was just a blank looking page with this massive list of people's emails and passwords on it. I clicked off immediately and now terrified I've infected the whole computer. I didn't click any links, and the page was a result on Google Chrome, but I don't know if that matters.

Am I overreacting or do I need to burn the laptop?!

Perhaps not, but change your password regardless.
