Click a buy button and look in the payment box and above. Above the payment amount will it show the actual minimum price. Any amount shown in the box is a suggestion.
Your first screenshot shows, the project is free to download. The second screenshot ... shows the project page. Click it's buy button and you will see the suggestion is $ 5.00 and the actual price is 4.99. You can enter any price that is more or equal to the minimum price. Any amount over the minimum price is overpayment. It is the pay what you want thing.
These suggestions obviously are not modified by a discount. They're suggestions after all. Only the actual minimum price shown above does matter. You could have entered 2.49 in the box, while the project was on discount, even if the box still shows the undiscounted $ 5.00 suggestion.
It gets complicated, because the actual file on that free project is an indiviual priced file, so paying 0 will not give access to the file.
It is this option when configuring a pay what you want (minimum = 0) project's price:
Suggested donation — Default donation amount
And for a paid project (minimum > 0), you can configure:
Suggest an alternate default price
Suggested price — Default price shown when someone attempts to buy your project
Yes, I know the difference between the minimum price and the price you can pay. And no, it's not a suggestion here because it's the minimum price to get the whole pack. The free content only gives you part of it. And if these minimum prices can be modified by the discount when it comes to getting the whole pack. I know because I've bought packs like that.
So yes, there is a problem with the 5 indicated being the full price when there should normally be a 50% discount.
with the 5 indicated being the full price
... only the 5 is in fact not incidated as the full price. The minimum price is 4.99 without the discount and it was 2.49 with discount. For both projects you linked, the suggested price is 5.00.
The price indicated is the price above the little box where you can write the price.
It took me a while to find a current example on sale, that uses a suggested price. This option is not commonly used on paid projects.

Download this asset pack by purchasing it for $18.00 $4.50 USD or more.
$5.00
Try entering a price below 4.50 and you will get this error message:
You must pay at least $4.50.
The $5.00 that is prefilled in the box is a suggestion. You need to look above, where it says, $4.50 or more.
I do not understand what you are referring to.
The first project you linked, has a minimum price of 0 and an individual file price of 3.00 and a suggested price of 5.00. The second project has a minimum price of 4.99 and a suggested price of 5.00.
So, none of the projets has or had a minimum price of 5.00 to get the whole pack. But both have a suggestion of 5.00. Being on special offer does not change the suggestion.
