I’m using Lightroom 5.7 and can’t find a built-in lens profile for the Sigma 15-30mm f/3.5-4.5 EX DG IF ASP. Is there a way to add one, or otherwise fix the missing profile?

Adobe didn't create a profile for that lens. In late 2013, a staff member at Adobe forums responded to a similar question about the Sigma 15-30 DG with,
At the time that we began the joint lens profile project with Sigma, we had to make a call as to which set of lenses to support (given the extensive lens line). We made the decision to proceed with profiles for current lens models only. At that time, the 15-30 had already been discontinued, so it was not included in this list.
As others have noted above, the current options are (1) use Adobe Lens Profile Creator to build your own profile, or (2) to use the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader to check if someone else has already built a profile.
If somebody else has created and shared a profile of the lens, you can download it using the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader.

Lightroom 5.7 likely doesn’t include a built-in Adobe profile for that lens. According to Adobe, when they worked with Sigma on lens profiles they focused on then-current models, and the Sigma 15-30mm f/3.5-4.5 EX DG IF ASP had already been discontinued, so it was not included.
Your practical options are:
- Create your own profile with Adobe Lens Profile Creator.
- Check the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader to see whether another user has already made and shared a profile for this lens.
If no shared profile exists, there isn’t an official Adobe profile to install, so making one yourself is the main fix. As a workaround, you can also manually adjust distortion and vignetting in Lightroom’s lens correction controls.
