What is wrong with it? If its hashing and the pool hashrate is reporting correctly, what is the problem?

It showing red light and keeping that "beep!" noise.

A beeping S5 is usually one of these:
a) Loss of internet
b) Bad or failing fan
c) Overheating

b & c tend to be related.

Thanks! i have been cleaning it on "duster air spray". Almost 4 years no any problems with it, shame quality product.
That alarm!!! Cannot run with loud noise.

I skipped from S3s to S7s, but some had a "disable alarm" checkbox in the web interface.   If it exist, that might help, but I would seriously pause and see what the problem is.  Perhaps take the fans off and plug them into a motherboard and see if they spin up, or at least verify they are still spinning freely.

I bet it's the fans somehow malfunctioning with RPM. If you can find which one is the culprit you should be able to find replacement fans for the unit pretty easily if you're willing to spend a bit to repair your miner as the S5 doesn't require high CFM fans to cool it aquedately.

This could also work if temps are okay on the miner. A box like shown below should be in the miner config page, just uncheck the beep option. Like VRobb previously mentioned, these two things shown below are closely related. If it doesn't work, post back with some temp readings.
