To quote Gull: What is the right mix of technique and endurance for a Masters athlete (who wants to be competitive, say, at Nationals) with a finite amount of time to train?

Is 5 x 500 really a recovery set?
It can be--it depends on how you swim it.
Terry's point, which is a good one, is that it's very difficult to swim race pace 500s in practice. And if your recovery sets are too fast, you'll be depleted going into the race pace sets.
