You could do

void on_button5_clicked(GtkButton *button, gpointer data)
{
    gchar output[50] = "Hi there";
    GtkWidget *target;
    GtkTextBuffer *buffer;

    target = lookup_widget( GTK_WIDGET(button), "textview1");
    buffer = gtk_text_view_get_buffer( GTK_TEXT_VIEW(target) );
    gtk_text_buffer_insert_at_cursor( buffer, output, strlen(output) );
}

Lookup the API on GtkTextView and GtkTextBuffer - there are lots of
things you can do to text :)
