Actually it says:

,----
| `:float'
| `:placement'
|      Float environment for the table.  Possible values are
|      `sidewaystable', `multicolumn', `t' and `nil'.  When unspecified,
|      a table with a caption will have a `table' environment.  Moreover,
|      `:placement' attribute can specify the positioning of the float.
`----

Try

#+attr_latex: :float sidewaystable

instead. The doc does need clarification.
