It's the geek version of {print}.
In fact it gives a non-zero =true value in an implicit if where the default action is {print}.

A code block followed by an expression like that, prints the line whenever the expression is true. As an expression, 1 is always true.

The code block is actually optional. Just awk '1' filename will print every line... awk '/string/' filename will match every line matching "string" (where the regex evaluates true), etc. It's a useful on-off switch for printing.

Note that since an assignment returns the value assigned and since the value being assigned is not an empty string and is not zero, the script can be written as just a condition with the default action simplifying the script to just:
Code:
awk -F';' '$2=5' OFS=';' inputfile > outputfile
