I won't even attempt to give an overview of how attribute syntax has
changed/is changing, or explain why and how the manual is out of date,
but while we're waiting for someone else to do that, here's the line
you're looking for:

#+ATTR_LaTeX: :width 5cm :options angle=90

Very briefly, I think attributes that may be common to multiple backends
are now given as eg :width or :height (with no equals sign before the
value), while attributes that are rarer or likely backend-specific are
stuffed into one :options attribute, with the keys/values written more
literally.

More than that I can't venture...
