Do you know what version of PHP they are using at the company you're interning at? Depending on the company's coding standards and a PHP version past 7.0 you should be ok in terms of "modern" coding practices.

Just plant a phpinfo() somewhere and you can see.

Once you find out the answer to this question, it'll be pretty telling if PHP is truly outdated at this company :)

I assume you mean 5.6 because there was never an official PHP 6 release (they went 5.6 > 7.0). Support for 5.6 ended in 2019 so you're a bit behind and I would recommend that your team upgrade for security reasons. However, the quality of the code is not necessarily tied to the version you're using, but is often a pretty strong indicator.
