I was reading a novel at Syosetsuka ni Narou's site and I found（棒） in one of
the dialogues. I know that there's a similar（笑） that's equivalent to English
net slang "lol", but I find no sense in changing "smile" for "pole". What
would it mean?

What does（棒） as net slang mean?
It is a shortening of 棒読み and means speaking in monotone. I.e. if it is an
apology or compliment then it is not sincere.
