Well, I must admit you produced an admirably complicated code! Still, it
doesn't give what you want. Try this:

In[1]:=
mat = {{1, 2, 1}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, -Infinity}};

size = Dimensions[mat];

Cases[Position[mat, x_ /; IntegerQ[x]],
  y_ /; Length[y] == 2 && First[y] == First[size] ||
    Last[y] == Last[size]]

Out[3]=
{{1, 3}, {2, 3}, {3, 1}, {3, 2}}
