There is no way to install CS5 on an M1 running Monterey.
You'll have to dual boot with CS5 on an external hard drive running Mojave or earlier. [Update: Not an option for an M1 Mac]
Or sign up to a Cloud plan and run the current version of Photoshop natively on your M1.
You could try a Cloud plan for free for 7 days. If you choose not to purchase you MUST cancel the trial before the 7 days expires or it will automatically sign you up to a paid plan.
No, Parallels won't work in this case. I hoped it would, but Parallels on an M1 computer will only run M1 systems (just as Parallels on an Intel computer will only run Intel systems).
No, dual boot won't work. M1 computers can only run Big Sur or later.
No, we explained it's impossible to run CS5 on an M1 Mac. You need to budget for all new apps with a new Mac. It's part of the Joy Of Mac.

You can try Premiere Elements before you buy. It's affordably priced consumer-grade software without all the bells & whistles -- or steep learning curve -- of pro-level Premiere Pro. Some people prefer it for that reason.
Just make sure your equipment can handle it.
