That’s because you’re launching a new instance of the coroutine every frame in Update.

You could either do:

     void Start() 
      {
         StartCoroutine("AddPoints");
      }
     void Points() 
      {
         this.gameObject.GetComponent<MAIN>().Points += 5;
      }
 
     IEnumerator AddPoints()
     {
        while(true) {
         yield return new WaitForSeconds(5f);
         Points();
        }
     }

Or, more simply:

     void Start() 
      {
         InvokeRepeating("Points", 0f, 5f);
      }
     void Points() 
      {
         this.gameObject.GetComponent<MAIN>().Points += 5;
      }
