"Supereal" might not be the name of the fake itself, it might be just the name of the mask-programmable microcontroller they used. "It seems that in this case Chinese designers implemented protocol-compatible "fake" chip, using mask-programmable microcontroller. This way they only needed to redo 1 mask - this is much cheaper than full mask set, and explains a lot of redundant pads on the die."
