That means your doll is #1 of a lot of 5000. It is a mass-produced doll worth very little.

This is the markings of the count of this particular doll , which is one of many. There were a lot of this same doll made 5000 times. Meaning this Doll, called 1 , and was number 5000 produced, which in todays market, this is mass produced and value very low, topping out at $20 or less.

Unique is the brand/company name and the numbers: 1-5000
are also part of the description.
Unique uses the same markings on all of this series of dolls.

They are mass-produced and the 1-5000 is only a marking and does not necessarily mean they only produced 5000 of each doll.
mass-produced dolls are usually sold to lower-end stores such as K-Mart, drug stores, mall toy stores, formally 5 & 10 Cent stores.

The doll market has been flooded for several years and even high-end dolls' value is very low.
You can look at some asking prices on eBay to see what sellers would like to receive for their dolls but none have sold (on eBay) for several months so no true value can be stated.
However, most of these types of dolls that do sell will usually sell for less than $25.
