The only one that seems possible is (5). Even (5) is not a great sentence. You must put a space after a comma.

I don't like the numbering style that you have used. I would say it is incorrect. I recommend one of these:

1. Being told about that now, she's happy.
1) Being told about that now, she's happy.

Do you mean "2" "3" "4" "5" are grammatically incorrect?

JumanahDo you mean "2" "3" "4" "5" are grammatically incorrect?
I believe you mean 1, 2, 3 and 4, since I said that 5 is possible.

2, 3 and 4 are ungrammatical. 1 is not so completely ungrammatical, but to me seems too much of a strain to accept as correct. 1 and 5 are both somewhat borderline, and opinions about how tolerable they are may vary.
