You can run a query for the unique_id with the below:

$existingPost = get_posts( array(
    'meta_key'   => 'unique_id',
    'meta_value' => '555555',
));

if($existingPost){
    $my_post['ID'] = $existingPost->ID;
    $post_id = wp_update_post( $my_post );
}else{
    $post_id = wp_insert_post( $my_post );
}
