Her uncle is being renamed. He's not a town and he's not a hardware store, I would imagine.

Please do not provide just the answer, you need to explain everything. As for this question, shouldn't it have been asked in English?

An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames  another noun or noun phrase. In this sentence "Her uncle" name the man. It does not rename him. The appositive would be the second naming as it renames the first.
