Check for air in the filter. If there is a bleed valve at the top of the filter tank, open it and let the air bleed until it is all gone. If there is no bleed valve, you may unscrew the gauge and let the air out.
Trapped air will compress when the system pressurizes, then when the pump stops, it pushes water back out.

Look for a suction side leak. Air is getting into the system and cuasing the basket to be pushed out when the pump stops. It's a pretty common to have a suction side leak. Check the skimmer and weir, check the pump basket lid and drain plug(s).

Yeah, you are pulling air into the system and, as a result, pressurizing your filter. Once the pump stops, the pressurized air in the filter pushes, the water back through the system and pops up your strainer basket.
Find that air leak on the suction side and the issue will be solved.

It looks like there might be a leak right at the pump assy.

I have small water leak at the pipe that comes out of the top of the Hayward Super II. Would that be it or is it more of a seal issue with the pump itself?

The leak you're looking for is on the suction side of the pump. A discharge leak won't cause the problem you're having.
