I think the penguins would learn to just swim away, and the bears would starve since they would need to expend a lot of effort for a small bird versus the calorie-dense seals they're used to.
To be fair, some penguins aren't exactly small
That is a king penguin, not even the tallest subspecies (emperors are taller), but what you're looking at is an optical illusion because the penguin is much closer to the camera than the humans.
Damn, well I'm leaving it up anyways.

So I'm hearing that we move some seals first...
plenty of polar bears eat salmon
Polar or grizzly bears... not sure salmon roams the north regions without rivers.
Polar bears can fish (in this video they're catching char, which is closely related to salmon), they're just not used to it.
If they can eat fish, they can probably figure out penguins as well, which honestly aren't too different from seals (slow on land, fast in the water).
the north regions have rivers, and bluberrys; both of which are natural food sources.
They'd need to ambush the flock when they were on land, ensuring they could corner several before the penguins make it to water
