What does calorie (IT)/hour/square centimeter measure?

It measures heat flux density indicating the rate of heat transfer per unit area, expressed using International Table calories over one square centimeter per hour.

Is dyne/hour/centimeter a common unit for heat flux density?

No, it is a nonstandard CGS-derived unit used primarily in older literature and specific microscale or CGS-based measurements.
