Drinking raw eggs is outdated. Protein powders became widely available in the 1980s, make it easier to consume a lot of protein quickly, but prior to that, this is how it was done. I'm bringing this so that you realize that the raw egg drink was used back than the was protein shakes are used by athletes now. It wasn't replace a meal, but to supplement it. Rocky was drinking them as soon as he woke up, he would probably still eat cooked eggs as breakfast after his morning training.
Athletes need to squeeze a lot protein in. The typical recommendation is 1 gram per pound of bodyweight. Rocky is supposed to be a heavy weight, which would be over 200lbs. The 5 raw eggs is only 30 grams of protein. He would probably have to do this twice a day, in addition to his 3-4 meal to get to 200 grams a day.
To answer you question is there an advantage. It's much quicker to crack them into a glass and quickly drink them, than it would be to cook them and then sit down and eat them. Its also easier to consume things by drinking them, rather than eating them.
