I'd say that, since you've been out of employment for 5 years, you're definitely less than ideal candidate from employer's point of view (due to uncertainly regarding your motivation to get back to employment, team collaboration skills and attitude etc.). In my experience, remote jobs are offered to people who are almost a perfect match for the job. So, in your case, I'd start with an in-office job to disprove those risks, and then change jobs to a remote one.
