For this usage, the fps you seem to be concentrating on is of very, very little importance indeed. If you are going to use even 5fps, that's a whole lotta film, and associated costs to buy and develop/print.
You mention that you want to use the camera for birding. My own experience with such subjects is that you get a lot of duff shots relative to the number of 'keepers'. With a film camera, this is expensive, you'll have a lot of cost tied up in wasted film. Also bear in mind that with a film camera, a 300mm lens won't give you as much of a frame filling effect as you'll get from using a 300mm lens on your D50; this is because the D50 uses a smaller sensor than a frame of 35mm film. This will probably mean you will have even less 'keepers' when using your film camera for birding.
For your photography class, you would be better off saving your money for a better lens that can be used on your D50, and buying something cheap/basic for use with the class.
Hope this helps.
