US bills printed before 1990 didn't have a lot of security features on them. You can still look for the following:
- Hold the bill up to a light and look for tiny blue and red fibers embedded in the paper. (Note that there won't be a watermark like newer bills, though.)
- The paper will have a substantial feel to it, the same as modern bills.
- If the bill is a green-seal Federal Reserve Note, the denticles (teeth) on the Federal Reserve Seal will be sharp and uniform.
- The engraving of Lincoln's face will be sharply-defined and appear almost 3D if viewed from a slight distance.
That said, $5 bills aren't often counterfeited because of their low value, but it's not impossible - I have one in my collection.
