Hmm, strange. I'll check this.

Judging by this, the record indicates the reboot of the
NAS. Does it reboot every 5 minutes?!?

When a NAS reboots, it must send an accounting request with
Acct-Status-Type = Accounting-Off, then radiusd will execute
acct_nasdown_query. Upon startup, the NAS must send an
accounting request with Acct-Status-Type = Accounting-On, then
radiusd will execute acct_nasup_query. In your case, the NAS
obviously violates the RFC and sends a usual Stop request.
Back in the good old days that was the usual behavior of
Portmaster termservers running ComOS version <= 3.5.1b20.

Radius 1.2 distribution contains a Rewrite module for Portmaster
servers that rewrites the Start/Stop records into appropriate
Accounting-On/Accounting-Off records. The module is examples/comos.rw. 
You can use it with a minor modification: the line 35 should read

 && (*%[Acct-Session-Id] && %[Acct-Session-Id] == "00000000000000000000")) {
