I suspect that Gazebo page is out of date. The migration page for ROS Kinetic says:
The Gazebo official versions supported in ROS Kinetic are the 7.x series.
Also Kinetic is currently the recommended ROS release, so right now the recommended setup is Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus + ROS Kinetic Kame + Gazebo 7.1.
End of Life (EOL) simply means that support ends for that version, in other words, the developers are no longer going to spend any time updating, patching, adding features, troubleshooting etc. that version. The reason they do this is so they can spend their time wisely on supporting more current versions and working on new features for future versions rather than fix things that most people aren't using anymore.

You are free to use something that is EOL, but if you find a bug the developers are probably not going to fix it for you. You could fix it yourself on your local copy, put up with the bug, or upgrade to the current version.
