Call showing for 2:16:17 but person says they didn't call (no ring) and there is no voice mail either.

The number and person is familiar and is from a cellphone.
Also the number showed again a day later for 1 second, again no ring and no VM. Person claims they did not call either time.

Being a paranoid person, is it possible that my pc was somehow being hacked? If the call was a simple misdial or accidental dial, would it really show over two hours of call time with no voice mail?

Odd.

It was probably just the NSA listening

Given that the number was from a cell phone of a person you know, and ASSUMING neither call was an OUTGOING call, I'd say that chances are very high that one or both were what is often colloquially referred to as a "butt call" - a call made accidentally when a button on a cell phone that can trigger a call (often to the last number dialed) is accidentally and unintentionally pressed, especially when the phone is kept in a pocket (especially a rear pocket) or purse without first "locking" the keypad. Happens VERY often.

There are a couple off other possibilities too - including the fact that logs sometimes just get screwed up - but not worth spending time on here. In any event, no your pc wasn't "hacked."
Using a "standard" magicJack, an "original" magicJack Plus, and the magicJack iOS app on an iPod Touch and iPhone
