You saved the wrong file — only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on
How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb,
but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
This Apple doc also applies to iWeb '09:
_iWeb ’08: Backing up your Domain file_
If you've been running Time Machine or
_other backup methodology_, look for ".sites" which is the hidden file extension of iWeb Domain files.
If no luck, paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

By the way, in your Public Profile you say:
"Mac OS 10.5.7 (this was not an option in the drop down menu)"
...It is an option now.
