I don't really agree here.
Calling the flop can be fine, but it's not that ludicrous of a fold for many $5 players to make.
Can be deceptive if you call the flop though (not relevant on whether or not to call though), as you'll probably tend to play too loose in a lot of spots after you're good in this spot and too tight in similar spots if he shows up with KK.
As far as preflop goes, if you play $5s and use HEM take a look at what you're getting min 3bet with (and what calls 4bets) and you'll probably start to see what you should do with most hands as far as 4bet or call. If I opened up a $5 right now I'd call preflop and not 4bet though.
Throwing in samples from $2s or $10s if you also play those is fine, as is combining/scanning other people's databases, as most people probably won't have huge samples of these spots.
Tone it down though borderline, if you're correct here it's probably pretty close and I'd take even money that call > shove preflop here in the $5s. Your flop comment looks accurate but it's not a spot where somebody folding is brutal bad or anything, spots where you miss a bet or bet instead of checking, make a bad postflop shove, etc. will be infinitely worse "leaks."
