The truth is you will need to file it by paper.

You will indeed be assessed a failure to file penalty but don't worry if you fail to file the IRS will catch up to you (they already know that you did failed to file-because once you file a tax return they have you in the system and they know when its your file date) and call you in for an audit shortly, that is what they are currently working on as we speak, 2004 return audits.
Give your local IRS office a call to see if you can file your 2004 tax return, just don't give your name away because you are putting your self in jeopardy for an audit.
Seek also advice from a Tax Advisor and if you do get audited do not represent yourself have someone else represent you like a Tax Advisor or CPA, to protect your rights as a taxpayer.
Read up on Publication 1, 5, 9 and 609 just in case you do get a letter to come in for an audit.
Protect yourself!

This site will provide with all the information you need to file your past tax return(s).
You may have to copy and paste this address.
http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=108327,00.html
This site provides access to "authorized" e-file providers.
http://www.irs.gov/efile/page/0,,id=10162,00.html
This should give you everything you need.
You can also contact your local IRS office and they will provide free assistance to enable you to file and pay your past tax obligation.
Depending on the amount you now owe, you may be able to enter into an installment agreement and make payments to the IRS, ending the accrual of interest and penalties.
Do this as soon as possible, as the sooner you get this filed and arrangements made with the IRS the sooner your interest and penalties will cease to accumulate.
Good luck

You can not e-file for prior years. The following link will give you the form 1040 for 2004. You can get all of the 2004 forms from the IRS also.

No. Prior years now being filed have to go in on paper.

YES, you can always file a late return and you will be assessed some late filing and payment penalties; but the statute of limitations will start; and other more serious penalties (fraud, negligence, etc.) may be avoided.
