Actually the K-5 isn't that much older. It was introduced in 2010 and
discontinued officially 2013 about a year after the K-5II and K-5IIs
were released.
There wasn't a lot of "improvement" in APS-C sensors from the K-5 until
the release of 24mp Cameras like the K-3 were released at the end of
2013, (which includes the Nikon 3xxx, 5xxx and 7xxx which all received
pretty much the same sensor).
The K-5 sensor when tested by DxO remained at the top of APS-C sensors
for a number or years, and even beat out FF and even a couple of Medium
format sensors.
The Fuji X-Trans sensors were also in the class that DxO put near the
top of the heap.
One can take exception to what makes a sensor good, and DxO may be
testing some of the wrong things but they are consistent for comparison
purposes.

Yes, but it was no longer in production when I bought mine about two years ago.
I was fortunate to find a new one. I see the K-5 is about ten years older.
