Doctor, the skin on my hand is burning hot when I am not anywhere
near anything hot.

So put your skin in a fire!

Save and run this AppleScript while the app in question is focused:

tell application "System Events"
set FrontApplication to (get name of every process whose frontmost is
true) as string
tell process FrontApplication
set position of window 1 to {0, 22}
--window 1 is always the frontmost window.
end tell
end tell

If the app has a Windows > Zoom [or Zoom Window] command, that usually brings
the window back onto the screem. It's equivalent to clicking the green + button
in the window's top left corner. Once the window's on the screen again, you can
resize and position it where you want.
