Strictly speaking that tells you that the SP supports SAML1 protocol. You should look below to see which of the SAML1 Profiles is supports

  <AssertionConsumerService Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.0:profiles:artifact-01" ....
  <AssertionConsumerService Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.0:profiles:browser-post"  ....

Those are the SAML1 "endpoints".
