Show your Polish passport to border guards anywhere in the EU (in Poland but also in Germany, UK, etc. should you go there in the future), you won’t get any question and the rest (like the entry stamp you have in your US passport) doesn’t matter anymore. Paperwork aside, you certainly cannot be arrested or punished in any way for being in Poland as a Polish citizen.
In fact, as Polish citizen, it’s showing only your US passport to the Polish authorities that could theoretically put you in trouble, you are always supposed to use your Polish passport (see the section on dual citizenship in the Wikipedia article on Polish nationality law).
When booking/checking in for a US-bound flight, provide the airline with your US passport details to establish you can enter the country and avoid problem there. As far as the US is concerned, you are still supposed to use your US passport every time you cross the US border.
If anyone ask, you can always show the other passport to explain your situation but there is no reason to worry about this.
