I was wondering about that, too. Although I don't think it was clear where, exactly, they were. Spock warped away and the other ship chased. Could we tell where Spock came out of warp? Weren't there asteroids or something? Maybe it was meant to be the Kuiper belt.
Although I don't think black holes are necessarily special in terms of gravity. It's still dependent on mass. Apparently (from the particle collider doomsday theories) you can make a "black hole" using very small amounts of matter, although ones that small will quickly evaporate. So it might be that there's a black hole out there but it only has the mass of a ship and whatever all that "red matter" was.
Although it was still strong enough to nearly pull in the Enterprise. That's bound to be a navigational hazard.
