UH, just walk into the auto parts store?
Tell them you need a serpentine belt. When they ask for what year/model car for their computer, tell them it's for a custom application and you need to match it up manually. Tell them you need a 5 rib belt 29 inches long. *most* belts are numbered this way...just as you posted. The single digit represents the # of ribs, the 3 digits together represent inches in half-inch increments (290=29.0"). Anything from a 29-29.5 should work for that. If you cant find it in a 5 rib, you can get by with a 4 rib. I recommend dayco or goodyear belts.
IF you have the car running, drive it over and bring a 12mm socket, and just take the various belts outside and find the one that fits best...it's not like it's hard to slip it on and see.
