I wonder if this 404 page is still being considered by search engines for SEO purposes

  If it returns a 404 status code then search engines will generally effectively ignore it

    In fact Google even attempts to detect "soft 404s" and will not index those either. That's when it thinks the content wasn't found but the server still returned a 200 response. This can happen in any application but I think they developed it with SPAs in mind

    Freakonomics: there is a surprising and commonly undervalued secondary market for 404 pages, and you just realized you purchased a bootleg, which is nevertheless priceless: https://archive.md/MzOrc https://archive.md/MzOrc
