Default Rules question about revealing cards after all in

I was playing a small tourney at a friend's house. One guy goes all in preflop and two people call him. As the two players are betting into the side pot after the turn, the guy who is all in flips over his cards for everyone to see. He said he is allowed to do this since he is all in and has nothing to bet. Is this legal?

No it's most certainly not legal. Until the betting has finished he can't reveal his hole cards. Knowing what isn't in play anymore might give one of the remaining players an unfair advantage.

The confusion is with the rule that all players remaining must turn their cards face up once no more betting is possible. This situation occurs either when every player in the pot is all-in or at the showdown.

So if this were to happen in a casino for instance, would there be a penalty and what would it be?

Their probably wouldn't be a penalty from the casino, as both other players involved will benefit from the extra information. There might be a fight in the parking lot later...
