M*R^2 is understandable but what's this raised to 5th power stuff in rho*r^5? And is this lowercase r the same as the uppercase R?

Mass scales like density times radius cubed. The first M would technically be a function of position. So you would integrate over slices of varying M not just because of varying density.
