I tried to look it up in my old RedHat 5.2 manual but all that states is "Old Linux system used a format for programs and shared libraries called a.out while newer ones use the ELF format.". It doesn't say when the changeover was made. RedHat 5.2 was using the 2.0.36 kernel.
ELF was supported on kernel 1.2.x. Red Hat 5 would certainly have been
ELF-based.

No it wouldn't, as major library versions (5 versus 6) are not compatible.
RH 5.2 was libc 5, for sure. ldd should have shown the missing libc6 if
that was the case. I didn't see the ldd output posted here?

I would advise upgrading the kernel to 2.2.x or 2.4.x.
