Rubber deteriorates with age whether in use or not. Heat and exposure to UV exacerbates this. After 5 years the amount of deterioration varies depending upon these factors.
Many of us have seen the effects of this deterioration on components such as tires, vacuum hoses, and cooling system hoses to name a few.
For my nickel, I would buy a new serpentine belt.
