Although the comments are exhaustive, here an answer:

"e^+003" means *10^3. Then 5.0646e+003 means

5.0646 * 10^3 = 5.0646 * 1000 = 5064.6

The uppercase "E" is valid also. Note that the "e" is not a power operator, and e.g. 1e.5 is invalid, because this notation is allowed for integer values only.

Unfortunately I do not find this in the docs. The format command might be useful, but does not explain this notation also. This might be trivial, but as usual in science, "trivial" does not necessarily mean that it is clear.
