The numbers, as in "bash(1)" refer to sections of the manual. "Info" is a different documentation format, most commonly used for GNU tools (including bash). The section numbers don't generally apply to info documents. For some tools, the man and info documents have the same information. For some, the man page is a brief summary that directs you to the info documentation. For some, there's only a man page. (And for some there isn't even that.)
