Is that really a 5 microamp meter, or actually just a meter with a 5
microamp FSD scale?

It's real. :-)

Go on! I'll bet it's not! I thought that the best you got was something
like 50uA. If it really IS 5uA, take care not to drop it.

I've got one or two meters which 'lie' the other way. They are
reasonably sensitive but are intended to be used with a shunt, and are
scaled for an FSD higher than their basic sensitivity.
