Referring to that original screenshot, surely there is no pedal here.
The pedal would blur what the right hand is doing.
This is much more likely laissezvibrer asking for the lefthand fifth to
be allowed to resonate to the sounds produced by the right hand.
It wants the keys kept pressed even when the initial pp may have decayed
to pppp.

That wouldn't be good enough for me.
In sightreading mode I would glimpse that in the lefthand there is
nothing at the start of the second measure, and so would release the
fifth sooner than is intended.
In sightreading mode I would ignore the middle of the second measure.
It is only in the context of this thread that I can guess what is meant.
I think there should be something tie-like (complete or open) crossing
from the first measure to the second.
Cheers,
Robin
