COMMENTS
This is the fifth member, q=5, in the family of (1,q) Pascal triangles: A007318 (Pascal (q=1), A029635 (q=2) (but with a(0,0)=2, not 1), A095660, A095666.
This is an example of a Riordan triangle (see A053121 for a comment and the 1991 Shapiro et al. reference on the Riordan group) with o.g.f. of column nr. m of the type g(x)*(x*f(x))^m with f(0)=1. Therefore the o.g.f. for the row polynomials p(n,x) = Sum_{m=0..n} a(n,m)*x^m is G(z,x)=g(z)/(1-x*z*f(z)). Here: g(x)=(5-4*x)/(1-x), f(x)=1/(1-x), hence G(z,x)=(5-4*z)/(1-(1+x)*z).
The SW-NE diagonals give Sum_{k=0..ceiling((n-1)/2)} a(n-1-k, k) = A022096(n-2), n>=2, with n=1 value 5. Observation by Paul Barry, Apr 29 2004. Proof via recursion relations and comparison of inputs.

FORMULA
Recursion: a(n, m)=0 if m>n, a(0, 0)= 5; a(n, 0)=1 if n>=1; a(n, m) = a(n-1, m) + a(n-1, m-1).
G.f. column m (without leading zeros): (5-4*x)/(1-x)^(m+1), m>=0.
a(n,k) = (1+4*k/n)*binomial(n,k), for n>0. - Mircea Merca, Apr 08 2012
