And some cat5 cables will take gigabit speeds even though they’re not rated for it if they’re high quality enough too.

Especially if the run is relatively short (<=100ft) and it doesn't run parallel to noisy power cables.
Cat5 is rated for Gigabit over spans of up to 100 meters.
The 1000Base-T spec predates Cat5e.
