If Time Elemental attacks or blocks, but you no longer control it at end of combat, you can’t sacrifice it. However, it will still deal 5 damage to you. - 2005-08-01 · Wizards of the Coast
A “permanent that isn’t enchanted” is a permanent with no Auras on it. - 2004-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast
You both sacrifice it and deal the 5 damage at end of combat.
