That's all GetModuleHandle ever returns.

A module of a particular name may only be loaded once per process.
Further attempts simply increment the count on the module already loaded.

A module's location cannot change while it is loaded into memory.

Perhaps you're confusing GetModuleHandle with LoadLibrary. You don't
need to call LoadLibrary since the rtl70.bpl will already be loaded.
Even if you did call LoadLibrary, you'd still get the same handle since
LoadLibrary won't re-load a module that's already in memory. If you
called LoadLibrary, you should also call FreeLibrary to make sure the
reference count stays correct.
