To find the surface area of an oblique cylinder, we still use the same formulas as a right cylinder since the surface area depends on the radius and height, which are the same. The surface area \( \text{SA} \) of a cylinder is given by the formula:
\[ \text{SA} = 2\pi r(h + r) \]
Where:
- \( r \) is the radius
- \( h \) is the height
- \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)
Given:
- \( r = 5 \) cm
- \( h = 15 \) cm
- \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)
Plugging these values into the formula:
\[ \text{SA} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 5 \times (15 + 5) \]
\[ \text{SA} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 5 \times 20 \]
\[ \text{SA} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 100 \]
\[ \text{SA} = 6.28 \times 100 \]
\[ \text{SA} = 628 \text{ square centimeters} \]
So, the surface area of the oblique cylinder is:
\[ \boxed{628 \text{ square centimeters}} \]

Yes, I am confident in the calculation, but let's go through it once more to ensure everything checks out.
The surface area formula for a cylinder is:
\[ \text{SA} = 2\pi r(h + r) \]
Given:
- \( r = 5 \) cm
- \( h = 15 \) cm
- \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)
We'll substitute the values into the formula:
\[ \text{SA} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 5 \times (15 + 5) \]
\[ \text{SA} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 5 \times 20 \]
\[ \text{SA} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 100 \]
\[ \text{SA} = 6.28 \times 100 \]
\[ \text{SA} = 628 \text{ square centimeters} \]
This confirms that the surface area of the oblique cylinder is indeed \( 628 \text{ square centimeters} \). The answer remains:
\[ \boxed{628 \text{ square centimeters}} \]
