I want to check if a text(hyperlink) is present or not in the page. If displayed I was click on it. And if not sleep for 5 more seconds.

I've tried

if driver.find_element_by_id('xpath').is_displayed:
    driver.find_element_by_id('xpath').click() 
else:
    time.sleep(2)

However I'm not able to get it to work.

Here it looks like in place of xpath method, you are using id method to find element or vice versa. It should be driver.find_element_by_xpath('xpath')

is_displayed()

is_displayed() method determines whether the element is visible to a user. So essentially your line of code should have been:

if driver.find_element_by_id('xpath').is_displayed():
