Doesn't matter.
The SEO weight value of the H1 tag is too much overrated anyways.

If you want it to be correct, yes, it would matter. You should only have one H1 tag per page. I would also have them be relative to the page content. There are other more weightier issues, but I don't think on-site optimization is totally dead. Googlebot is still crawling sites to determine what the site is about. Until that stops, you can't just ignore it.

Yeah, this is pretty much the definition of poor optimization, and is about as relevant today as keyword density.

That said, PHPgator is right. More than one H1 tag is poor design, and you will receive googlescorn for it.

I had this type of thing on some Drupal sites because the themes want to put the company name in an H1. As I think PHPGator said, you want to put the content that's repeated on every page in something other than an H1 and just style it to look the way you want. Save the H1 for whatever the main words are you're hoping the page ranks for.
