Teaser 2584: Truncation

From The Sunday Times, 1st April 2012 [link] [link]

Callum is learning about squares and primes. He told me that he had discovered a four-figure square that becomes a three-figure prime if you delete its last digit. I could not work out his square from this information and he informed me that, if I knew the sum of its digits, then I would be able to work it out. So I then asked whether the square had a repeated digit: his answer enabled me to work out his square.

What was it?
