Well it kind of has the value of 5, but it's value is severely weakened in the endgame and on a 10 x 10 board. A Bishop in fact could prove to be more useful than an Elephant in the Endgame, so it's kind of worth 4.5, but I wouldn't go so far as to say 5.
It doesn't have the Dababba movement... it can only jump when it moves exactly like a Knight does.
Maybe 5 would be a more accurate value, but I wouldn't say anything more as the Rook and Bishop could out number it in the Endgame.
