This is not a procedure as such. It is an anonymous block, you would simply enter it into a code window and then execute it.
You should probably have a look at the PL/SQL documentation here

to invoke or execute a procedure
use execute command and procedure name

This does not answer the OPs actual question. It would appear that you read the question title and didn't bother to read the body of the question.

Glad you found it helpful.
Another worthwhile read is The ORAFAQ Guidelines These will show you how to format your posts when you ask /answer questions, to make it easier to read for all concerned.

Don't do that. Don't use SQL if there is no need:

declare
  v_number number;
begin
  v_number := 5;

or even

declare
  v_number number := 5;
begin
  ...
