Noob here, need help understanding what went wrong

Enable secret 5 $sdf$6978yhg$jnb76sd

this seems to be specific to the emulator you are using, that's not what a type 5 hash looks like at all. doing some googling, it seems the only people who have encountered such a format are people using simulators. and it seems to always be that same string.

on the other hand, if my hash here isn't a typical cisco MD5 hash, then what does it most resemble?

resembles garbage doesn't look like a hash at all.
