I've got one (a Pen FT) relatively recently with a 38mm F1.8 Zuiko lens. 
Works well - see a shot off a test roll I did here

The flash shoe is a detachable accessory which fits over the viewfinder 
eyepiece and that is slightly damaged. It still retains the shoe but I could 
see that it might be damaged easily so could be a common fault. Can't say 
for definite as this is the only Pen F I've ever seen.
