This will get snapshots older than 5 days:

Get-VM | Get-Snapshot | Where {$_.Created -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-5)}

You might also want to take a look at Alan's snapshot reminder:

Thank you. Can we get the snapshot name,  Who created it  ?

The name of the snapshot is in the first column of the output.  Who created it isn't a property of the snapshot, but you can get this if the task or event from the snapshot creation is still in the vCenter database.  The snapshot reminder script I referenced above does this or there is a module in the Powershell Gallery to get the creator:
