Hello,
You have, it seems, gotten 1/2 right answers so far.
Yes, the can is 1951.
No, it is not May.

5 is the capacity in gallons
20 is the capacity in litres.
you will find cans with 5.1, 5.5, 5.2 etc (there are no 5.29 as it is not a date).

For far more detailed info go to

gas cans are at the 1/2 way down point.
