1. She isn't that new, given all the development stages software and hardware would have gone through to allow field tests she should at least be closer to multiple years old.

2. Ironwood was brought in on the secret about a year prior to the series, after Amber was attacked.

While her basic chassis (sans [final?] cosmetic touches), weapons, subroutines and the Aura containment have probably been in development for a fair bit, Penny as a sentient individual was probably fairly new when we first saw her. At least that was my impression.

I don't rememebr this ever being stated.
