When the AP is mounted vertically to the wall, ports facing down, the coverage pattern looks like an upright mushroom/umbrella.
The antennas are located in the tiny gap between the edge of the AP and where the heats Uk begins at the rear/top of the AP, the means the antennas have an unobstructed 360deg view around them, and 180deg view above them, but below them (towards the floor) it’s blocked by the PCB and heatsink

To clarify, this is the Elevation Pattern from the H510 datasheet. I'm a little confused as to which way the device is supposed to be oriented in relation to the diagram.
Another way of phrasing it: Is the WiFi signal "exploding" out of the front of the device, or the top of the device?

Why is this not omnidirectional? Is that normal?

It's omnidirectional when viewed from above, the azimuth chart, which is not shown here.

There is an app that comes with ruckus for line-of-sight alignment & Celebration but You’re going to need a pretty good master and slave installers though...
Designed to be mounted on a wall. Wifi "explodes" outward covering everything with thick sticky coverage.

I think I gotcha, so WiFi will splooge onto my devices, like in figure "A" there?

Nope. Figure B, like it’s going over a wall Jack. The ports should face the floor. The H stands for hospitality and they’re designed for hotel room deployments where they’ll go on wall plates under desks and stuff.

That makes sense. What confused me was a Youtube video of a dude installing them in hotel rooms horizontally against the wall - ports going towards the right.
Thanks for clearing it up for me.
