It’s a Howard Miller wall clock
If only on the ¼ hour, but not on the others, there's a worn or chipped geartooth. If All of the chimes are 5 minutes off, you can usually adjust the position of the minute hand to correct it. You may have bent, or wore the 'd' shaped hole in the minute hand by aggressively turning it to set the time.

It is normal for the average wall clock. Of course, this can be adjusted, but without watch/clockmaking knowledge it is impossible, because first you need to find out which part of the movement is causing early chiming - and there are plenty of them.
Super fine adjustment can be found only in top of the range clocks. Hundreds of hours of craftsmenship are spent to adjust and fine tune them. That's why they cost a fortune.
If you can not live with that early chiming, you have to bring your clock down to the watch/clock repair shop and ask for help. Be ready to pay quite a money, as this job takes the skill and a lot of time.
Rate me, please.

How long has the clock been running for since it stopped? Sometimes it takes a few cycles before they sync back up... How long was it "stopped" for?
Thanks
