You should probably learn a bit about Bitcoin before using it further. If you know the basics, like sending and receiving address, it's less confusing. And you may avoid making mistakes that make you lose your money.
I took a look at the sender address using oxt.me and similar websites and the address doesn't seem to belong to any (known) exchange. Still I second what Loyce said - Your question makes me suspect that you won't know may not grasp the concept of CPFP so I recommend that you visit this[1] thread by cygan which gives a succinct information about it.

Next time that you plan in making a transaction you can check mempool.space for selecting the appropriate fee (the service will suggest you fees considering the current activity on the mempool). As it stands your 38 satoshi are less than the recommended in order for it to be processed as of now. Weekends tend to have lower fees so perhaps wait until the next one to see if it is broadcasted?

The second address "bc1q5ztklyqsqt3f06kh8jkunnzcps66pzqht5tnp7" is for my wallet.  

The first address does not appear to be doing anything.

Is this transaction legitimate?
It looks legitimate. Depending on which wallet you use, you can send the coins to yourself again at a higher fee (that's called CPFP, Child Pays For Parent) to get it confirmed. It shouldn't need too much more, just a small bump in fees. Or you can just wait, it may or may not confirm on it's own soon.

The transaction is legitimate, and it's active on the blockchain and currently undergoing confirmation, which might take longer than you can imagine as the fee rate used for that transaction is 38 SAts, which is very low compared to how high the fee is these days.
 
And the first address is not there for nothing, as the first address is the sender of the transaction; that's the wallet from which the bitcoin you withdraw is sent to your own wallet.
 
Your transaction has already taken two days, and it might take more unless the fee rate is reduced. If you can contact the platform, you should try doing that to see if they can increase and bump the fee rate for you at the expense of your bitcoin, or you can just wake up patiently; the transaction will confirm, but it will take some time.

I made a deposit of bitcoin into a site.  I changed my mind and withdrew the bitcoin from that site. Here is the transaction ID: 5b9c8f7782f2a1e9089c954d9b8d1504ccae041e11c38856debe20f581c07cfd.  Now within this transaction are 2 address' ; bc1qg9luqm2vlxmun90ta7mtudnn745zfq2na3lnpz ,  and;   bc1q5ztklyqsqt3f06kh8jkunnzcps66pzqht5tnp7.

The second address "bc1q5ztklyqsqt3f06kh8jkunnzcps66pzqht5tnp7" is for my wallet.   

The first address does not appear to be doing anything.

Is this transaction legitimate?

Why is it taking so long to confirm?

I'm very new to using bitcoin and could use some assist if anyone's out there. Smiley
