According to macsales.com and others sources. Yes the 2015 27" iMac HDD model has a PCIe slot.
The Late 2015 27" iMac Hard Drive model can also be upgraded to a 2.5" SSD using a specific HDD to SSD kit.
For the kit and video, see > https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/K27IM12HP1TB/
As you can tell from the contents of the kit and the video, opening and upgrading an iMac is not something that just anyone can or should do.
A less expensive and invasive option, is to run just your 2015 27" iMac from an external Thunderbolt or USB 3.0 SSD.

Is the SATA crucial mx500 1tb good for my iMac to boot from?
I've never tested the SATA crucial mx500, but being NAND 3D I would guess it would do great. :)
