Does the Sony alpha a5000 mirror the photos or videos after you take them like the iPhone front camera does like make them flip left?

I bought a canon powershot sx530 and it mirrors my face (flips it the opposite direction) when I take photos and videos so everything comes out weird and I'm trying to start YouTube but the only problem is the camera.

The image looks weird to you because it isn't mirrored, the way other people see you.

There are two ways you usually view yourself.

In the loo's mirror which shows you in reverse and when you look at a photo taken by a camera. The one from the camera is the way others see you. That means that any proper camera like the A5000 will produce the same image, the way people see you, NOT the mirror (in the mirror, the right side of your face shows up on the left side of your face in the mirror)

Digital cameras like the a5000 and SX530 do not take mirrored images. If it comes out weird, it's a faulty setting done by the camera user.

You can do mirror flips in a wide variety of software and apps. Your computer almost certainly already has suitable software.

All cameras see you as you are - that is a basic optical principle which you can't alter. Some cameras in phones might have built-in software to detect selfies, and thus might flip them so that you look as if seen in a mirror. But when you look in a mirror you see yourself "flipped" as you can prove if you hold a newspaper up to a mirror.

No, the A5000 will show you the image correctly. As i wrote in your subsequent question, I couldn't find anything in the manual for the SX530 regarding the preview of the image being flipped horizontally. Review the images on a computer to see the images are still being flipped. Call Canon's tech support to find out how to change this on your camera.
