SUN says prior to version 5.0 Update 6, an application or an applet could specify the version of the JRE on which it would run. "This issue can occur in the following releases (for Solaris, Linux and Windows platforms):
Java Plug-in included with J2SE 5.0 Update 5 and earlier, 1.4.x, 1.3.1, and 1.3.0_02 and later
Java Web Start included with J2SE 5.0 Update 5 and earlier, and 1.4.2
Java Web Start 1.2, 1.0.2, 1.0.1, and 1.0".

The most current release is JRE 1.5.0_08. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. It is "Highly Recommended" that older versions be uninstalled.

Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 8 for end-users.
