I recently saw this snippet from what seems like an old Spider-Man comic where he's battling Doctor Octopus.

Here, Doctor Octopus is able to snap out of Spider-Man’s webbing after which he says:

And now, Super-Man, I grow bored with this game! My time is too valuable!

I’m looking for the comic book where this occurred.

Also, did any of the publishers comment on this if it was just a typo, or some sort of mistake?

It's from The Amazing Spider-Man (1963) Issue #3

The "error" occurs on panel 6 of page 7:

Doc Oct already called Peter Spider-man on the previous page, so it does appear to be a mistake on the author's part.

As a side-note, there's also that time where he was mistakenly called Peter Palmer. Granted, that was a clear misprint (given that the letter M is right below K on a QWERTY keyboard), unlike in this case where "Spider" is misspelled as "Super".

So one could assume that Doc Oct said that on purpose, to show that Spider-man's webbing wasn't indestructible, calling him "Super-man" (with a hyphen) just as he broke his webbing.

  I don't think it's a mistake, Doc Oct is mocking Spider-Man, note as he says it he snaps the webbing.

  The reason so many Marvel Superheroes have alliterative names is so that Stan could remember them better. I've no doubt Palmer was a mistake by Stan that made it past Jack and onto the page. I seem to recall an instance where Bruce Banner was mis-named as well (separate from the TV show), and they gave him a middle name to keep it "canon". (source for most of these claims is the book Superman Is Jewish?: How Comic Book Superheroes Came to Serve Truth, Justice, and the Jewish-American Way)
