You can also pre-built the extension elsewhere and just make the provisioning pull the pre-built .so.

Ubuntu (and Debian) doesn't backports stuff to older releases. Especially when there's a dozen ways how to provision it (PECL, prebuilding, using my ppa:ondrej/php, etc...)

Building php5-mongodb would require create the package from scratch, because extension building was rewritten between php5 and php7.0. However you are free to do so in your own PPA (or hire somebody to do so).
