walterramjet, the 55555 bug was indeed still present in your kernel
version (4.2.0-36.*). For the 4.2.0 kernel series, it was fixed in
version 4.2.0-42.49 as noted in comment #59 here, so running a regular
system software update is probably what you need to do.
However, its confusing that you also mention that you're running Ubuntu
16.10 ("Yakkety") since Yakkety's kernel series is 4.8.0. Perhaps
you're actually running Ubuntu 15.10 ("Wily") which used the 4.2.0
kernel series. If so, note that Wily is now past its end-of-life and is
no longer supported.

Bug description:
I have a K520 Logitech keyboard and sometimes something starts to keep
pressing key 5.
It mostly happens when I leave the computer alone for some time, but
sometimes also just during regular usage.
It seems that this is a Linux specific issue as no one is complaining
about this issue under Windows, but a couple of people are complaining
for different versions of Ubuntu.
It is always 5 and WladyXX3740 claims on the Logitech forum that:
"happens on Ubuntu 15.10 and 16.04, does not happen on Ubuntu 15.04, probably
kernel related."
Here is where most of the people are complaining:
https://forums.logitech.com/t5/Keyboards-and-Keyboard-Mice/Ubuntu-15-10-and-K520-key-5-automatically-pressed-resulting-in/td-p/1488639
I discovered that this is related to my Logitech keyboard by running this
command:
xinput test-xi2 --root
Here is the device list:
