The bonus happens when a previously damaged creature becomes a blocker and the bonus is not removed if that creature is removed from the blocking situation by any means.

2004-10-04wotc

Giant Shark only gains its bonus if the blocking creature was damaged before blocking was declared. Damaging the creature later will not give the Shark the bonus.

2004-10-04wotc

Giant Shark gets the bonus once for each creature it blocks or is blocked by that meets the criteria.
