I installed parity wallet and deposited 5 ether.
Now I am trying to transfer it to another address and "parity signer:pending" appeared
and it is going on for three hours and on.
How long does it take to transfer an ether to another address?

The Parity team has taken the time to write incredible documentation about their wallet. You will not only find the answer to your problem, but to many future ones you may have. Take a look at the docs for your solution.
For your specific question, follow the logical steps in the GUI. Specifically:
1) Open the GUI
2) Click on the "Accounts Management" tab
3) Click "Transfer". You will see this screen:
4) Enter the recipient's address, the amount you want to send, and then press send. Type in password.
I recently went through this process. I think the documentation is a bit outdated in times of how long it should take (or the network is slower than the documentation assumes). There are about 4.2 million blocks. Given your setup, it looks like you are getting about 150 blocks / second. At this rate, it will take about 4,200,000 / 150 seconds ~= 8 hours.

It takes only seconds to send a transaction, and only a few minutes for the transfer to finalise.
What you need to do is use the Secure Transaction Signer to authorise the transaction. The documentation is sparse, but this is what you should see: https://github.com/paritytech/parity/wiki/Parity-Wallet.
The Secure Transaction Signer is a feature of the Parity wallet, but some people prefer to use the official Ethereum wallet (Mist). It is possible to use Mist with Parity.
To use Mist, you must first run parity with the
--gethflag like so:parity --geth. (If you are on Windows, just modify the shortcutparity.exe --geth, it works the same).Now open Mist, and you can send transactions without the additional transaction signing step.
