And it does not say that otherwise (no numeric prefix arg) you are prompted for the line number. And that in that case the default value is the number at point, if any. All it says is the last part, with no mention of prompting and no exception for a numeric prefix arg. And it does not say what line number is used for plain `C-u'. It says lots of stuff about `C-u', but not which line number is used. You have to read the source code to figure out that plain `C-u' acts just like no prefix arg wrt LINE. Sheesh. Better just start over and rewrite this one. Start by describing the behavior without a prefix arg. Then detail the possible behaviors with a prefix arg. See (emacs) `Moving Point' for a clear treatment.
