Ah, good point. The "<f5>" notation is a vim thing. You can either
use some other key such as "Q"

:map Q :1m$^M

where ^M is entered using control+V followed by control+M

(just tested in the nvi that I have here on FreeBSD)

Alternatively, if you know the escape sequence for the key you want
such as F5, you might be able to enter it literally, escaping with
control+V as above.

(as I type this, your follow-up email arrived where you do just that)

I think this list is the closest there is. I regularly use vi/nvi,
vim, and ed(1), and occasionally neovim. I'm sure there are others.
There's enough overlap between vi/nvi and vim/neovim that even if
you're asking questions about vi/nvi here, you'll hopefully get some
good answers. It also helps get relevant answers if you mention that
your question is about vi/nvi instead of vim, so folks don't try to
reply with vim-specific answers.
