The only way for sure is to plug something into the PCIe 5.0 interface and either run a diagnostic tool that'll read it or do some test that sends data through it.

However, given there are no PCIe 5.0 video cards at the moment and I don't think you want to buy an M.2 to PCIe card converter along with a PCIe NVMe drive, I don't think anything will really satisfy you.
