The writer of the ad may have had in mind: "I want someone who has been
programming for at least 5 years and knows Ada" The personnel/HR folks -
who know nothing about technical specs except how to line up buzzwords
on resumes with buzzwords in personel requests - probably translated it
into: "They want an Ada programmer with 5 years experience."

The standard for Ada was published in 1983, correct? I think there may
have been some "proof of concept" work done, but certainly nothing
validated. Its hard to remember back that far, but I do remember reading
early drafts of the Ada standard back in 1981.
