When selling a rental property, depreciation recapture is required. Is there any such special treatment of section179 depreciation for a (very) small business when the business closes, such as in retirement?

Yes, the 179 Deduction is also recaptured.

Technically, the depreciation that could have been claimed is subtracted from the 179 deduction you took.  The depreciation part is recaptured and the deduction part is paid back.
