There is an old Austrian Folksong (something about a knight saving Vienna from the Turks), but unfortunately I can't remember title or music. Maybe someone else can jump in? It is definitely in 5/4. There is also a rather interesting orchestral overture by Reicha, contemporary of Beethoven, in 5/4. There is a CD recording of it, but I forget with whom or which company (I am not at home at the moment, os I cannot check). It is especially interesting for teaching 5/4, as it constantly changes between 2-3 and 3-2 groupings.
