This will depend upon how "out of date" the penicillin is, how it has been stored and if the seal on the bottle has been breached. Penicillin is a fairly cheap drug, so when in doubt I suggest simply purchasing a new bottle if needed.

What would happen if a suspension of bacteria is placed in a distilled water with penicillin?

eventually the bacteria would die because the penicillin would interfere with the ability to synthesize a cell wall thus the bacteria wouldn't divide. and the existing bacterial cell wall would lengthen and become frail. However, the bacteria must be gram-positive because they have cell walls composed of peptidoglycan, which is ideal for penicillin to attack.

What is the difference between penicillin used on humans versus animals?

The question is unclear and sounds like the outcome of penicillin for us to use against animal contamination, but if you mean what effect penicillin has on animals, it would depend on the biological makeup of the animal. As with humans, some of us have an allergy to penicillin and can become quite ill even thought it was made to help cure us against infection and disease. On the other hand, there have been reports of no effects of penicillin on both some humans and some animals. It would be logical to assume that some animals will suffer adverse effects of penicillin, but I would hope than any administration of such a drug is for their healing and not for testing. I am sure that many humans would be happy to be test dummies as we are the best candidates, especially if we know that animals were tested on and suffered for our own mortality and well being.
