I had to google because you didn't provide a link, is it this:
http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0774532.html
That has a title Life Expectancy at Birth for Selected Countries: 1950 and 1998. Means seven year old data. The CIA fact book, on the other hand:
total population: 77.43 years
male: 74.63 years
female: 80.36 years (2004 est.)
Now we can argue which source is more reliable.
