Yep, there is a point to it. I'm sure I'm not alone in making a post and then re-reading it to discover a typo, spelling mistake, link or image that has not displayed correctly within the post. The 5 minute window gives everyone a chance to correct such things without notice.
The reason this grace period is limited to 5 minutes is to reduce the chance of any abuse.
