The number of digits in the decimal expansion of 5^k is 1 + floor(log_10(5^k)). If the average digit value is approximately (0 + 9)/2 = 9/2, then for large values of k, the digit sum will be approximately (9/2)*log_10(5^k) = (9/2)*k*log_10(5). The digit sum will then tend to be in the vicinity of a power of 5 when log_5((9/2)*k*log_10(5)) is near an integer, i.e., when log_5((9/2)*log_10(5)) + log_5(k) = 0.7120063... + log_5(k) is near an integer, which happens when k is near 5^(j - 0.7120063...) for integers j, i.e., around k = 1.59, 7.95, 39.7, 199, 993, 4968, 24838, 124191, 620953, etc. - Jon E.

FORMULA
A067502(n) = 5^a(n).
EXAMPLE
5^8 = 390625 and 3+9+0+6+2+5 = 5^2, so 8 is a term.
MAPLE
filter:= proc(n) local x;
x:= convert(convert(5^n, base, 10), `+`);
x = 5^padic:-ordp(x, 5)
end proc:
select(filter, [$0..10^5]); # Robert Israel, Jan 18 2023
MATHEMATICA
Do[If[IntegerQ[Log[5, Plus @@ IntegerDigits[5^n]]], Print[n]], {n, 0, 150000}];
