Default Problem with 99 SH Overdrive

Ok, so here's my question. My 99 SH (obviously manual) seems like it runs at very high rpm's in 5th gear, compared to most modern cars. In 5th gear, if I'm goin 40mph, my engine's running at 2k. If I'm going 60mph, my engine's running at 3k, and so on.... My dad says that sounds like the way the older cars were before overdrive became standard on cars. Since my car is a manual, and 5th gear should be overdrive, is there something wrong with my gearing, OR do Prelude's just not have overdrive (seems like the more logical explanation). I know this may be a bit of a dumb question, but help me out here.
