Read the documentation of org-insert-link.  Follow the link to the
source.  See that it has a (interactive "P") declaration.  Read the
documentation of interactive.  See that "P" means prefix arg in raw
form.

If you don't know it, search in emacs lisp documentation, and you'll
find that the prefix arg in raw form, for a single C-u, is passed as
(4), not 4, and for C-u C-u, it's (16).

So it should be:

(global-set-key [(super f)]  (lambda () (interactive) (org-insert-link '(4))))
