The brine keeps them from spoiling. If you open up the jar, and try to bend the pickle, if it snaps, it's probably okay. If it just bends, it's NOT OKAY!!!
But after 5 years, I would open the jar, (don't put your nose to it), pour the juice in the toilet bowl, put the pickles in several plastic bags, tie it and throw them away.
BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.
There's an old saying "IF IT DOUBT, THROW IT OUT".
I'm a doubter.......... lol
