Duplicate content doesn't trigger any 'penalty', just makes it difficult to rank for the content in question. The second link is a 404 error, so I can't really help you. -E
But it is a penalty. I fyou cannot rank for your content - especially focused key-phrase content then from your end - You must be penalized. Couldn't see the page in the second link as well...
No penalty as such, just you may not rank for that phrase, term etc if you have duplicate content google will disregard all but one I believe unless you go mad spamming
