This is not a good picture of the K-5 hot shoe but looking at the K200D I have handy IRL, those things (and I'm not even sure they are contacts) aren't there.
Not dead but sure
My K-5 has the same "things". They are bolts (sort of screws) where a fraction (about 1/4) remain visible from above (actually, if you use the 100% version from the Russian site, you can spot a screwdriver dent in one of the bolts). It is part of the mechanical hot shoe assembly and K-01 and a silver K-5 look 100% identical. With a black K-5, it may be more difficult to see though.
I know, hopes die last. But rest assured, they die too
