There are 10 such links. Internally, and as you already know, they point
to the specific pages that are part of the package. For the external web
based version of the docs they point to the web based counterpart, i.e.
https://help.gnome.org/users/empathy/stable/ for this case. This is
intentional, and myself I don't see a problem here.

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
  Release:	16.04

  ubuntu-docs:
    Installed: 16.04.3
    Candidate: 16.04.3
    Version table:
   *** 16.04.3 500
          500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
          500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main i386 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  This bug relates to the following section of the Ubuntu help.

  Ubuntu Desktop Guide » Networking, web, e-mail & chat » Chat & Social
  Networking » Instant messaging on Ubuntu

  In this section the third paragraph (excluding the information box)
  contains the text:

  "For help with using Empathy, read the Empathy manual." where the
  words "Empathy manual" are a link.

  The expected action is that following this link would take you to a
  manual of the Empathy program.

  Instead following the link results in this error message:

  Document Not Found
  The URI ‘help:empathy/index’ does not point to a valid page.
