The shift is caused by the \setupTABLE commands (ends with "]", so the
line break becomes active and adds one space). You can add a comment
symbol at the end of every such line or move the whole setup part out of
the rotate macro. I also used \framed here, as \st(art|op)background
still has some spurious space at the end of the table.

% - - - - - - - - - -
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\setupcolors[state=start]

\starttext

\setupTABLE[width=\textheight, height=\textwidth]
\setupTABLE[r][each][height=0.13\textwidth]
\setupTABLE[r][1,2][align=lohi, height=0.06\textwidth]
\setupTABLE[c][1,2,3,4][width=0.15\textheight]
\setupTABLE[c][5][width=0.4\textheight]

\rotate[rotation=270]
{\framed[offset=overlay,frame=off,background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray]\bgroup
%\startbackground
\bTABLE
\bTABLEhead
\bTR
   \bTH[nc=5] \midaligned{Übung: Einschätzung der eigenen Erfahrung:

\eTR
\eTABLEhead
\switchtobodyfont[small]
\bTABLEbody
\bTR
   \bTD[m=5] \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLEbody
\eTABLE
%\stopbackground
\egroup % \framed
}

\stoptext
