Yes, I have tried those drivers. I'll re-install them for good measure and let you know the results.

Bottom Line: The HD 5xxx series was established as the minimum requirement. (The drivers provide hardware support for OpenCL 1.1). The HD4xxx series provides software emulation of OpenCL 1.0 and is insufficient to run FahCore_11. I have not found a reliable source of information, but I think your V5800 is more like the 4xxx series than the 5xxx series and it will not be supported.
I can't explain how V7 is deciding, though.

I installed those drivers before and I did again for good measure. Rebooted and still no luck.

Okay, to summarize you have the correct GPUs file and you have the drivers that state they support OPENCL 1.1 and you're still getting Unsupported GPU.
The only other thing I can suggest at this point is to finish the smp slot, uninstall folding completely
including data and re-install. You could backup your config.xml to another folder like Documents so that you can reference it for any needed input when you install again. But until that unsupported goes away I'm not sure it will ever work and I have no idea where the Unsupported status is coming from but just wondering if maybe when you first installed the client and your GPU wasn't supported that somehow that info is stored somewhere. All speculation so I certainly understand if you don't wish to try that and thanks for trying all that we've asked. We like to track down the reason for this type of mystery.

I'll try what you've suggested bollix and get back with you.

Uninstalled folding completely including data and re-installed. Here's my log. Still UNSUPPORTED. Well, we tried! Thanks for all your help.

Doing a little digging, the Firepro v5800 is called Juniper XT for a reason, this card has got the same GPU what's in the Ati-HD5770-cards meaning it's definitely v5xxx, but it's lacking the double-precision of the Ati-HD5800-series.
Since FAH doesn't use double-precision, I can't see any good reason for this card not being supported by FAH.

Most people would drop their CPU config to cpu:6 so that the two slots don't compete for CPU usage. This can actually increase overall PPD as the constant interference can cause the CPU PPD to drop dramatically. This shouldn't have anything to do with your problem getting an assignment but you should probably change it if and when the GPU starts working.
Is leaving the CPU at 6 rather than the full 8 the same for Nvidia cards? Or is that just a requirement for amd/ati GPUs?

Currently, nvida cards use very little CPU compared to AMD cards so it is not needed to run SMP6.

Great, thanks!
