Narrative:

Event: during climb out at dtw, first officer flying, assigned further climb to 5000 ft. I am just finishing after takeoff checklist. I notice first officer pulling up the nose to increase rate of climb. He is intending to miss (go over the top) of a cloud. Before I realize where we are at (altitude wise), he goes through 5000 ft. The high rate of climb takes us through, and we both push the nose over, but not without hitting 5300 ft. First officer states that his altimeter stuck or slowed a bit as it approached 5000 ft. I have seen this problem before in saabs.
