Why five and not four?

Four weeks account for exactly 28 days, so every month is guaranteed four of each weekday. December 2028 runs 31 days, which leaves 3 days beyond four whole weeks, falling on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Saturday is among them, which is why it appears a fifth time, on December 30.

Five Saturdays and the payroll question

A month with five Saturdays matters to anyone paid weekly or fortnightly on that day, because it produces an extra pay date inside the same calendar month. In 2028 that happens in January, April, July, September, December, so December 2028 is one of 5 months this year.

Saturdays in December across other years

The same month shifts forward a weekday each year, and two across a leap year, so the answer moves with it.
