The sqlplus HELP facility has never come pre-installed that I know of as I have had to manually install it. Oracle provides a script in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory, inshelp, that will run the install. Or you can go to $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/help. The bin script requires you set a couple of environment variable before running it; they are easy to spot if you look at it.
