We officially support what Chrome ships; currently that's 5.7 and 5.8 (and gets bumped every ~six weeks, so every branch we cut has a support period of ~12 weeks). You can see the currently supported set of branches on https://build.chromium.org/p/client.v8.branches/console.
We also support the node.js team with maintenance of V8 versions in currently-supported Node releases. Backmerges for those purposes are applied to Node's github repository directly, not to the branches in the upstream V8 repository. (Note that Node's needs are somewhat different from Chrome's, so the sets of patches that both projects choose to backmerge might not always be identical.)
