Unless you know the loads used, and how they were fired, the round count is not a great indicator. While 100 rounds fired out of a 308win while not overheating the barrel is going to use up very little of the barrel's life, firing 100 rounds in rapid succession out of a 30-378 could use up more than 25% of the life of the barrel. 5000 rounds out of a 30-06 is a lot of rounds, and the accuracy will likely be effected to some degree. As to whether that loss in accuracy will be an issue, depends on the shooter, and his intended use for the rifle.
