What are the significant advantages of SONAR 5 PE over SONAR 3 PE?
Is it worth upgrading?

Well, you certainly get some better plug-ins and synths. Perfect space, V-vocal, Pentagon, RXP... To be honest I haven't had much chance to play around with these so whether or not they are worth it to you is a personal decision. The core effects will still be the Sonitus Suite.
Then there are the work-flow enhancements--the track folders, in line MIDI editors, others--numerous posts on these in the past.
There have been improvements to the audio engine. However, I don't think the audio will sound intrinsically much better, unless you really think the "64 bit double precision engine" is going to make a huge difference.
There is no question you can creat great music with Sonar 3. What you need most of all is time, effort, and talent!

Sonar 5: Does it dropout less, and have a spectrum analyzer?
I'm considering making the jump from Sonar 3 to Sonar 5 as well.
Does the enhanced Sonar 5 engine do a better job of avoiding dropouts? Sonar 3 is awesome, however, it begins lagging a tad once I've (over)loaded it with tracks and plugins, etc.
Also, does it come with some kind of spectrum analyzer for EQ-ing?

the track folders was the deciding factor for me. comping vocals by muting/unmuting tracks on my fw-1884 and then placing those tracks into a track folder works great. i also like the more advanced routing scheme too.
one thing that is really cool to have, but not necessarily worth paying for is that you can add an image to the track so you can "see" whats on the track. an image of a sax for a sax track... etc.

Your dropout issues are caused by YOU and not Sonar. That's just want happens when you overload it with plugin's. Learn to bus stuff and only use effects when you need them...not just when you want them. Start freezing stuff...bouncing stuff....etc.
As far as the spectrum analyzer...I'm sure there are plug-in's out there for this. There's one in Sound Forge, I know that.
