It doesn't yet. My understanding is that Bluetooth 5 support is added in Nordic's SoftDevice version 5.0.0, which isn't properly released yet (it still seems to be alpha).
When it is properly released, I'll move over to using Nordic's new SDK and we should get a lot of the BT 5.0 functionality.
The one frustrating gotcha is that Nordic have dropped support for their nRF51 series chips in the new SDKs, so in order to keep support for the BBC micro:bit I'll have to have some huge hacks in there to allow me to support both SDK versions concurrently :(
