No it only has a space for 2.5 inch SATA disks. Here's the manual:

 

Service manual

 

See p. 3 and p. 94. 

 

You can install a 2.5 inch SATA SSD and they are very fast in their own right. Same speed as a SATA type M.2...just a different package. Not as fast as the NVME/PCIe M.2 but your laptop is too old to support those.
