I believe it one of those version numbering things, per:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_version_history#Versioning_change

"Versioning change

This version introduced a new versioning system for the Java language, 
although the old versioning system continued to be used for developer 
libraries:

     Both version numbers "1.5.0" and "5.0" are used to identify this 
release of the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition. Version "5.0" is the 
product version, while "1.5.0" is the developer version. The number 
"5.0" is used to better reflect the level of maturity, stability, 
scalability and security of the J2SE.
     — Version 1.5.0 or 5.0?[23]

This correspondence continued through later releases (Java 6 = JDK 1.6, 
Java 7 = JDK 1.7, and so on)."

So what you are seeing here:

https://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html

is JDK 8 which is actually equal to JDK 1.8.
