Either of those:

• The result value is 10,000 (1 * 10⁵)
• The result value is 6 (1 * 10⁰ + 5)
• The result value is 5 (ignored + 5)

Actual:

Why do consider this is as bug?

It's commonly used style of E-notation. I would say, it's more used than without sign, but it may be locale- or region-dependent.

Given that WolframAlpha accepts this notation i will consider it a valid expectation. Fixed for 2.0.29.
