FWIW a comparably old box running Fedora 31 gives:

[john at HPFed ~]$ uname -r
5.6.19-200.fc31.x86_64
[john at HPFed ~]$ dmesg | grep -i microcode
[    0.165358] MDS: Vulnerable: Clear CPU buffers attempted, no microcode
[    2.155717] microcode: sig=0x10676, pf=0x1, revision=0x612
[    2.155723] microcode: Microcode Update Driver: v2.2.
