Only Git LFS would allow you to upload and reference such a file, but you need to do it from a local clone (instead of directly with the GitHub Web UI)

See for instance "Git Large File Storage Tutorial" from Lei Mao, to git lfs install and git lfs track that file.

But the best practice remains:

either to have smaller sets, as in selva86/datasets or jbrownlee/Datasets
or to have said dataset stored elsewhere, and referenced in awesomedata/awesome-public-datasets
