Under the 'System Characteristics' menu there should be a line that lists the last reset type.
I don't think the 5500 series has any non-volatile memory that would hold logs during a reboot.
You can setup a trap collector and/or a syslog collector that can hold long-term logs independantly of your equipment - but of course if the error causes the switch to reboot before the event gets sent you'll still be in the dark.

I think Power Cycle is a catch-all meaning that the reboot wasn't under software control, as if you'd pulled out the power cord. These devices probably have a hardware watchdog that would reboot them if the microcode locked up, but I'm not sure how that would be registered.
I do know that if you'd upgraded the microcode or selected reset from the main menu it would have indicated that.
