What is a good score in Geekbench 5?
Geekbench 5 scores are calibrated against a baseline score of 1000 (with 1000 being the score of an Intel Core i3-8100). The higher score the higher performance the processor. A score that is twice as high will mean the processor is twice as powerful.

The main issue with low score in benchmark is DEVICE Temperature. The more heat it gets the lower the score. You said that your device is not slowing down but got low scores in benchmark, that's because your normal usage of device doesnt push your hardware to its limits therefore you dont feel like it is crawling.

Do Geekbench scores matter?
Geekbench isn't as bad of an offender as AnTuTu when it comes to being a misleading or misunderstood benchmark, but it does only test two components of a smartphone, the CPU and memory, and doesn't do so in any real world scenarios.
GeekBench is a processor benchmarking program. Like other CPU benchmarks, GeekBench runs a series of tests on a processor and times how long the processor takes to complete the tasks. The quicker the CPU completes the tests, the higher the GeekBench score.
