Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
The ‘iddah started from the time of the first divorce. Since five years have passed, the ‘iddah has finished, regardless of whether you were aware of your ‘iddah or not.
Hence, you may remarry as your ‘iddah is complete.
هي انتظار مدة معلومة يلزم المرأة بعد زوال النكاح حقيقة أو شبهة
(الفتاوى العالمكيرية، كتاب الطلاق، الباب الثالث عشر: 1/526؛ رشيدية)
( ومبدأ العدة بعد الطلاق و ) بعد ( الموت ) على الفور ( وتنقضي العدة وإن جهلت ) المرأة ( بهما ) أي بالطلاق والموت لأنها أجل فلا يشترط العلم بمضيه
(الدر المختار المطبوع برد المحتار، كتاب الطلاق، باب العدة: 3/520؛ سعيد)
And Allah knows best
Wassalaamu `alaykum
