I have an instance of Kubuntu on my hard disk. The stock version showed four 
copies of "Discover" in the Application Manuals --> System menu. I tracked 
this down, and corrected it by editing 3 .desktop files.

In /usr/share/applications/{org.kde.discover.desktop, 
org.kde.discover.snap.desktop, org.kde.discover.urlhandler.desktop}

Remove the line "X-DocPath=plasma-discover/index.html" from all three files.

After doing this, "Discover" only shows up once in Application Manuals --> 
System.

Notice that the help file /usr/share/doc/plasma-discover/index.html does not 
exist on my instance of Kubuntu. I poked around the KDE Gitlab and found the 
Discover project, but there aren't any docbook files. So I guess the 
documentation for Discover has never been written. I'm not real sure how the 
.desktop files are generated; I only noticed one such file in the Gitlab repo.
