This cap tested dud across all possible terminal combinations.
However, I have to wonder why it's got 5 terminals. Why would you put
5 tags on a capacitor when only two are needed?

A multi-section capacitor contains several capacitors in the same can,
with a common ground. You'd find them in old radios. Without a better
look at the label of your cap, I can't be sure that's what you've got,
but it's what I'd guess.

Three of them may be common negative, physically arranged to hold the >capacitor firmly on a PC board.

Bugger! I did kind of wonder if that was the situation. If I'd had a schematic I'd have been able to see straight away. Damn!
Here's a better picture of the markings: https://disk.yandex.com/i/wwUt6kX-BjCAXg
And the just to the right of those, there's this:
051 55473
M HP 9420 :
40/085/56
Not sure if that helps at all or not!

Those "extra" pins are there to give it mechanical
mounting strength. Pins 1 and 5 are the electrical
connections - pins 2,3 and 4 give it additional
stability/strength.
