It distinguishes it just fine.  It's just that since you don't have any
command bound to S-f1 whereas you do have one bound to f1, it demotes S-f1
to f1.  Emacs has always (tried to) ignore(d) the shift modifier if that
allowed it to find a binding.  If you add a binding to S-f1, you'll see that
Emacs picks it up just fine.
