AFAIK no.

Nor would I risk liability by recommending something I suspect to violate 
Oracle's licensing.

However, I am curious as to what such a thing would do for you? Perhaps 
there's another way to accomplish what you seek to accomplish.

Wherefore do you need, or think you need, an obsolete Java version?

Does it have to be Oracle's Java 5? What about
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/linux/download.html#java5
? That version apparently is from 2011-11-22.

What's wrong with Java 6 or 7?
