lspci has this to say about it:
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV730 [FirePro V5700]

The balance of evidence regarding the FirePro V5700 seems to be support was dropped in 8.982, and the AMD website is just getting it wrong when it offers 8.982.x for the FirePro V5700 in some combinations of clicking through the driver selector forms.

The balance of evidence regarding the FireStream cards seems confused. The PDF release notes linked from individual driver versions at http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/fire/previous/Pages/fire_linux.aspx suggest support dropped, whilst http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalystSoftwareSuiteVersion1211BetaReleaseNotes.aspx is contradictory to this, suggesting support continues.
