You seem to be leaving out some important information.
The "mdadm --examine" of all the drives is good - thanks - but what exactly
if your problem, and what were you trying to do?

You appear to have a 5-device RAID5 of which one device (sde3) fell out of
the array on or shortly after 23rd May, 3 drives are working fine, and one -
sdf (not sdf3??) - is a confused spare....

What exactly did you do to sdf?
