Lots and lots. Some plays like A Midsummer Night's Dream, are full of them. Even plays that don't rhyme often have rhymes at the end of a scene or long speech to emphasize the fact that this is an ending, such as "The play's the thing/ Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king." (Hamlet)

They are not really unique. There are many many plays by Shakespeare's contemporaries, many of which are better than the worst of Shakespeare's plays. Shakespeare was just one of a large number of people writing plays. But what history has shown is that Shakespeare, when he was on his game, was a far better playwright than any of his contemporaries and anyone else before or since. He was not unique, but he was and is the best.
