My copy of safari seems to be infected with something that causes it to repeatedly open pages with a sapino.net URL. How do I get rid of this?

Please read full message, before doing anything, thanks.
Close Safari, hold the SHIFT key/button on keyboard, start Safari with double-clicking on its icon.
In this way, Safari starts in SAFE-MODE,
in safe-mode, all earlier tabs WILL NOT BE OPENED/LOADED,
so in this way, you can create new tabs inside Safari,
BUT you will LOOSE ALL EARLIER TABS, in safe-mode.
Alternative:
there are other extension for safari, that can show list of existing tabs & edit (remove) them, ... use one of those to remove the tab that goes into specific webpage all the time.

Sounds like you installed some type of adware. Check to see if it is a Safari Extension and remove it.
Otherwise, EtreCheck can help you find and remove it.
