To find the surface area of a cylinder, we need to calculate the sum of the areas of its two circular bases and its lateral surface area.

1. The area of a circular base is given by the formula: A = π * r^2, where π is approximately 3.14 and r is the radius of the base.

2. The lateral surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula: A = 2 * π * r * h, where h is the height of the cylinder.

Let's calculate the surface area using the given values:

1. The area of one circular base: A1 = π * (5 m)^2 = 3.14 * 25 m^2 = 78.5 m^2

2. The area of the other circular base is also equal to A1.

3. The lateral surface area: A2 = 2 * π * (5 m) * (8 m) = 3.14 * 40 m^2 = 125.6 m^2

4. The total surface area of the cylinder is the sum of A1, A1, and A2: S = 2A1 + A2 = 2 * 78.5 m^2 + 125.6 m^2 = 236.6 m^2

Therefore, the surface area of a cylinder with a radius of 5 m and a height of 8 m is 236.6 square meters.
