This sounds oddly backwards. Before DAT, i.e. MVT et al, addressing
exceptions were common enough on any but a fully kitted out machine -
and machines with 16MB were rare.

But I'm not convinced that S0C5 even exists on any MVS or later OS/360
descendent. How would you provoke one? If you're running V=V, you'll
get a page or segment fault (0010 or 0011) or some other DAT-related
failure, and I think those are all turned into S0C4s if unresolved.
Surely nobody is running V=R in 2022 (does z/OS even support it?), so
I'm not sure how you'd get a 0005 - let alone a S0C5 - for referencing
non existent storage.
