Well, you don't have to stick to exact values especially considering that some of the values are no longer in existence or just so unpopular a cap may be $40 apiece where the popular value is $1 apiece. Just be reasonable about it. If you need 5,000pF - use 4,700pF and most likely you'll be fine.
Speaking of that cap in question, it will have some tolerance and you probably do not necessarily need 1% either but make sure you chose stable dielectric type over the temperature range, not Z5U or something. Better yet look at the cap that's there. If it is a paper type you will be fine with 5% film.
