yes 5680 mobo looks like an oem microATX board. it uses a proprietary 5 pin power button (#3) but pinout probably same as older Dell optiplex model.

Please press the blue Accept as Solution button below if this post answers your question.
Power button, thermal sensor, etc should be removed from case and modified. The picture from Reddit post is incomplete and will have numerous errors that requires pressing F1 every time.

05FD93 Power Button cable and switch works.
Most Dells have several sensors that are not optional that must be moved as well. Otherwise there are multiple errors. Some errors will cause complete system shutdown others require pressing F1 to continue every time and cannot be bypassed. There is no one size fits all models all years all boards. Dell does not publish pinouts for any connection.
There is an adapter for the power button.
