Take logarithm and write it as
25((5n+1+132)ln(1+sinn5n+1))
the limit becomes
=25limn+ln(1+sinn5n+1)sinn5n+1sinn
=limn+sinn
which does not exist.
Observe that
limn+135ln(1+sinn5n+1)=0
So, your limit does not exist.

Define
L:=(1+sinn5n+1)2n+3
and take the logarithm of both sides to bring the exponent down. Proceed from there.

Using 1+rx<(1+x)r<exp(rx), we have
1+2n+35n+1sinn<(1+sinn5n+1)2n+3<exp(2n+35n+1sinn)
For any n such that sinn>12 (and there are infinitely many), we have
1+2n+35n+1sinn>1+2512=1.2
For any n such that sinn<12 (also infinitely many), we have
exp(2n+35n+1sinn)<exp(2512)<0.9
And thus the limit can't exist, as the value is infinitely often less than 0.9 and infinitely often greater than 1.2.
