Can confirm this bug is still present in 20.04.2.
Dell XPS with Ubuntu 20.04.2 was closed and suspended but could see it as a Bluetooth device on my newly unwrapped work laptop.
It's kind of a security and privacy issue seeing as it pulls my name@XPS-13 as a Bluetooth name.

Title:
  Ubuntu 18.04 LTS bluetooth left discoverable

Status in indicator-bluetooth package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, when Bluetooth is on, the computer stays
  discoverable which opens up unnecessary vulnerability surface. There
  should be a separate UI switch for discoverability with auto timeout.
  Leaving bluetooth on (using a Bluetooth mouse) should not leave the
  computer always discoverable.

  Current behavior does not match documentation
  https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/bluetooth-
  visibility.html.en, even without Bluetooth panel open, the computer is
  still discoverable.
