Electric overdrive on manual transmission? 200 1981

So I'm fairly new to volvos and I just got my first one, its a 1981 244 GL. The transmission is kind of weird, it is a manual but on the handle, it has a button for fifth gear(overdrive). this means it has an electric overdrive but i thought that was only on automatics... can any one explain how this works? thank you!
