5 mics at once definitely starts getting into the less-than-cheap range of products. The Behringer mentioned is the most bang for the buck, though they are notoriously meh in sound quality. I'd suggest finding a used Mackie board.

Keep in mind that a multi-channel mixer on its own isn't going to let you multi-track record all those separate channels for editing and mixing later. Not on its own. You'll need a sound card aka audio interface that can handle more than the standard 2 channel stereo input that your computer already has.
If you're okay with a stereo recording, then a traditional mixer is fine - mix it down to stereo with levels you can live with, and pipe that into your computer or Walkman.

As far as expanding with a soundcard (that can remove the need for a traditional mixer all together)....

I love my MOTU ULtralike Mk3. Even the non-mic inputs have enough gain on them for a decent mic / condenser... and MOTU makes boxes that have many many more mic-preamps for all sorts of multitrack fun. But they are not cheap (not the most expensive by far, either). M Audio and Zoom make some decent audio quality boxes that might have enough mic pres.

Speaking of Zoom, another option might be a Zoom H6 or H5. They are portable recorders, but maybe that will actually simplify the recording process. And portability is good sometimes. Although not top of the line, Zoom are used by some of your favorite podcasts and have pretty great sound quality and incredibly affordable.
The H6 I think lets you record 4 mics plus use the built-in stereo mic (so you'd get 5 sources). Double check that that's possible at the same time, though...

And get this accessory and you'll get 6 mic inputs, all recording their own tracks. https://www.zoom-na.com/products/product-accessories/zoom-exh-6-dual-xrltrs-input-capsule-zoom-h5-h6-u-44-and-f4

Then you'll need some microphones, but really decent quality 57/58 knockoffs are a dime a dozen these days.

Or heck, here's a whole package deal... can't vouch for the mics in this, but this is probably similar to the setup I would get in your shoes:
