Even if it is only cat5 it will probably be ok.
Cat5e is a minor tweak to the Cat5 spec to deal with increased crosstalk.
Assuming the wiring is properly terminated: all 4-pair, not too much untwist at each end and no really long runs, you will be fine.

Oh really? I thought you needed CAT5e for gigabit... well that's good news! 🙂
