Enterprise backup came as part of my default 7.3.3 installation. To check if you do actually have it or not it look for a directory $ORACLE_HOME/obackup which is where the enterprise backup executables reside.
I also found it fully documented on the accompanying documentation CD. I did an installation and found the it performed all the basic recovery tasks very well, it is a little inflexible however, if you are an 'expert user' who wishes to do something unusual with regards to backups e.g automated point in time recovery
