numerous other robots don't

go there http://web.archive.org/web/20160119113309/http://cdmedia.git...

view source, that's what archive.org_bot is referencing eg. no content whatsoever

if/when this site die, when you will browse the link above, you will see a blank page

I would even say that on web.archive.org the effect is even more vicious, if you don't know any better, because you see the page archived you think it is indeed archived when in fact it's not

but don't despair, there are other way to have the exact same result for your SEO

tell me how it is different than rendering the whole page as Flash SWF file ?

GoogleBot can read/parse SWF and even understand when dynamic text/xml is loaded https://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.fr/2008/06/improved-...

since 2008

Yes, Google can index the site. But it will still suffer in SEO since Google penalizes sites that take a long time to load.

Source please.
