Just an hour ago I was heading south on Grand River from Livernois into downtown and noticed at least four M-5 signs. Up until then I thought the M-5 designation ended at the I-96 interchange near Schaefer. Did M-5 silently get extended further down Grand River to Cass [[as it was where I took this photo for proof)?

It's always been the case.

Basically, west of Woodward both Clifford and Grand River were M-5 [[And US--16 before that). The termination was moved back to Cass at some point in the 1990s I believe, and has remained there to today.
Here is a site that chronicles Michigan highways and what it has for the history of M-5. It looks like the terminus was extended earlier this year.
