It has been released today and I see neither major fixes in the Release Notes nor security fixes for this release among the known vulnerabilities so far(1), so I assume that upgrading is not urgent.
Meanwhile you can grab a package in this repository. Be aware that it's a repackaging of an official binary tarball (with 37 locales included) and that I didn't try it on Slackware-current. Use at your own risks.
(1) Assuming that this page has been updated for this release.

Hard to say. The release notes do link to the usual security page, and I've noticed in the past that it can take a while (sometimes days) for the actual list of vulnerabilities to appear there. I usually assume that there are security fixes if there's a release.
Thanks for the information. Meanwhile, we may assume that "we will soon have the first Thunderbird 60 beta available, which is the basis for the next major ESR release", to quote what Wayne Mery just posted.
PS: Yes, the security advisory for 52.7.0 has been published.
