Here's a quick (very) and dirty (very) hack that should more-or-less solve
your problem.

Cut it out and paste it into a file you can call, say, "tocheader.sty".
Then input it into your main file using the usual \usepackage{tocheader.sty}
in the preamble.

%----------------------------cut here--------------------------------
\RequirePackage{afterpage}

% This is the header line itself (the alignment may need adjusting)
\def\tocheader{%
  \hfill\hbox to 0pt{\hss
    \hbox to \textwidth{\hspace*{2pt}Section \hfill Page\par}%
  }
}

% This adds the header line to successive pages
\def\runtocheader{\afterpage{\tocheader\runtocheader}}

\renewcommand\tableofcontents{%
    \if@twocolumn
      \@restonecoltrue\onecolumn
    \else
      \@restonecolfalse
    \fi
    \chapter*{\contentsname
        \@mkboth{%
           \MakeUppercase\contentsname}{\MakeUppercase\contentsname}}%
%%% begin added lines
  \tocheader
  \runtocheader
%%% end added lines
 \@starttoc{toc}%
%%% begin added lines
  \let\tocheader\relax
  \let\runtocheader\relax
%%% end added lines
    \if@restonecol\twocolumn\fi
    }
%----------------------------cut here--------------------------------

N.B.  This is hacked from book.cls; if you use a different class, you may
need to rehack the equivalent command there.
