Your file prj.adf is

Projection    LAMBERT_AZIMUTHAL
Units         METERS
Zunits        NO
Xshift        0.0
Yshift        0.0
Parameters    6378137.0  6378137.0
6378137.0 /* radius of the sphere of reference
  20  0  0.0 /* longitude of center of projection
   5  0  0.0 /* latitude of center of projection
0.0 /* false easting (meters)
0.0 /* false northing (meters)

Looking at the code at
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/158e538d63458414a5348dae12ddf820f62cf30d/ogr/ogr_srs_esri.cpp#L421
it is reading the parameters in order 2, 1, 3 and 4.

That code is 13 years old, changed due to
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/4302

As you can see, the content of the prj.adf is different than the example in
the ticket. Yours includes an extra one at the beginning, the radius of the
sphere.

I do not know if there is any documentation from esri about that specific
format for LAMBERT_AZIMUTHAL. It would be great.
And also I am surprised that in 13 years nobody complained.

If you remove the line with "6378137.0 /* radius of the sphere of reference"
it works, but probably it is not what you need.

Cheers,
Javier.
