(0.80M)(5.00mL) = c2 (75.00mL)
c2 = 5.33e-2 M
Is the correct amount of sig figs?

No. If the 0.80 is correctly written then you may have only 2 s.f. in the answer.
Ok so the answer is just 5.33? For an equation like this (0.50M)(1.75mL)= C2(75.00mL) would the answer just be 1.16e-3 or 1.16?
You are confusing scientific notation and sigfigs. Review these concepts to help you answer your own question.
5.33E-2 is three s.f. You may have only 2. That is 5.3E-2 or 0.0053
