Conjectures:

1) a(p) == a(1) (mod p^5) for all odd primes p except p = 5 (checked up to p = 271).

2) a(p^r) == a(p^(r-1)) (mod p^(3*r+3)) for r >= 2 and all primes p >= 5.

3) More generally, let m be a positive integer and set u(n) = ( Sum_{k = 0..m*n} binomial(n+k-1,k)^2 )^(m+2) * ( Sum_{k = 0..m*n} binomial(n+k-1,k)^3 )^(2*m). Then the supercongruences u(p) == u(1) (mod p^5) hold for all primes p >= 5.

4) u(p^r) == u(p^(r-1)) (mod p^(3*r+3)) for r >= 2 and all primes p >= 5.
