I've definitely seen much worse, it appears to be only surface rust.
A bit of grinding/sanding and you are ready to undercoat it. Even those spay can rubberized undercoats would do well.
Of course there are professional shops that can undercoat as well.
My PA got treated with a Teflon based undercoat called Platinum Shield, good stuff.

Five years and 19,000 miles and it'* that bad?

I agree with the others, grind then coat. It'* totally salvageable.

Still, I have to ask: Does it live in salt?

Oh ya that is salt corrosion.
It'* just common sense when buying a new vehicle the first thing that should be done is rustproofing,
Keep you vehicle clean in winter, power wash as much as possible under there.
