Irrational number.

Reason: the decimal 5.787787777... (with the blocks of 7's getting longer) is nonterminating and not eventually periodic. A rational number has a decimal expansion that eventually repeats a fixed block of digits; here the pattern of 7's keeps changing (no fixed repeating block), so the number is irrational.
