It means that your hdf5 library was originally installed into a 
different directory path and then the installation was moved/copied to 
the place it is now.  There is a warning since the content of the .la 
file may no longer be correct.  The .la file is just a text file so 
you can take a look at what is inside and even edit it to fix the 
installation paths.

It is popular to use DESTDIR to redirect installation to a temporary 
directory.  On some systems, this does not cause a difference but on 
others the libraries should be relinked to reflect their final 
location.  Libtool's --mode=finish is used to fix up libraries that 
need to be registered in their final resting place.
