Illustrator 5 .ai files are not full PostScript or EPS files. As such, you much open then individually in Illustrator and either save them out directly as PDF files (recent Illustrator versions) OR print to the "Acrobat Distiller" PostScript printer driver instance from Illustrator.

By the way, there never was an Illustrator 5 for Windows. There was Illustrator 4, 4.1, and then 7.
