On December 18, 2004, Voyager 1 passed the termination shock.

This is the unofficial date of departure from the Solar System.

Whilst the spacecraft still remains under the Sun's influence, at the termination shock particles from the interstellar medium interact with solar particles, signaling that the hypothetical heliopause is not far from this point.

It did not discover anything, rather it inferred the existence of the heliosphere.

What was the first planet discovered by the Voyager space probe?

Voyager did not discover any new planets. By the time Voyager was launched we already knew of all the planets in our solar system that we know of today. There were also two Voyager probes, not one. The first planet that either probe studied was Jupiter, which we had known for millennia. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter in March 1979 while Voyager 2 flew by in July of the same year.
