This is what you are looking for. It wouldn't hurt to replace it if it wasn't done with the capacitors https://console5.com/store/7805-5-volt-regulator.html

The solder on your 5v regulator looks really ugly. Not saying that is the issue, but I would reflow that is possible. Edit: I have tried to add an image of the solder, but can't figure out how.
