It's common sense in my opinion for Google and other search engines that a site with many broken links is a neglected site thus Google will treat it the same way.

Better spend some time... from time to time to check your links and avoid getting penalized for this. I learned this from self experience.
I currently work for a firm that has about 300 pages plus and from the time I started until today there are about 40 broken links AND we're still listed in each of the major search engines...and still ranking on the first and second page for the miriad of keywords we're competing for...
