Both my keys are labeled "Enter" on a Microsoft keyboard. I guess if you want to be stuck with the past, you can consider them differently. Enjoy your "scroll lock" key too!
Just because your keyboard is different (I'm guessing it's a Mac) doesn't mean that another keyboard is mislabeled. The story is focused on Mac computers without any apparent consideration of other products. On my keyboard--and many others--both buttons are labeled "enter" and both produce a key code of 13, which is enter on PC. In other words, there is no return button at all.
All that said, in the world of Macs, the article is still correct that return _technically_ does not equal enter, but that's just
ASCII 13 (0D) is CR, or Carriage Return, just to add to the fun.
However, the big button above right shift used to also have the icon for carriage return underneath the word "Enter" to signify it has a dual purpose. There wasn't room for it on the other Enter key.
I have used keyboards that had "Enter/CR" on the keycap instead of "Enter" + icon...

So your keyboard is mislabeled.
Mine is properly labeled, the key above the right shift says "return".
