I have seen various e-books on the Internet that have a (v5.0) in the name e.g.
Charles Darwin - On the Origin of Species (v5.0).epub
Initially I thought this had to with the version 5 of the DocBook, but I have seen other versions (v3.4) that do not have a corresponding DocBook version.
I have also seen this for e-books in .html and .txt files. Nothing in the those or the .epub file points at DocBook in any way.
What does this (v5.0) stand for?

This is an indication of the quality of the ebook. (v5.0) should be
close to retail quality:
v1.x: publication has been scanned and OCR-ed, but not spell checked.
v2.x: publication has been scanned, OCR-ed, and spell checked but not proofread.
v3.x: publication has been scanned, OCR-ed, spell checked, and proofread.
V4.x: publication has been proofread by multiple persons and is near retail quality.
v5.x: publication is of retail quality.
Minor version numbers are normally used for committed/uploaded changes.
I have not come across any (semi-)official website for these indications. I pulled these from my notes that I made while doing book scans myself. I think they came from some Usenet post.
Some v5 material still has a lot of errors (especially older publications where the fonts are not easily recognised by the OCR).
