I've got a backup made using the regular SQL Server 2005 backup command. Is there a way to restore just a single table, not the whole DB?

MS SQL does not provide any in-built functionality to directly restore specific tables from the backup file. However, you can restore the entire SQL backup by using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) or T-SQL commands. After that, you can copy the specific tables to your database.
You can use STOPAT command to restore a table from SQL database backup. Now, to restore only one table from SQL Server backup file, you need to copy the data from the backup to the destination database.
Answer. Single table restore can be done by using Optim High Performance Unload Tool. If you extract data from a full backup that was taken offline, the data is complete and consistent. If you extract data from a backup that was taken online, the data might contain duplicate or missing records.
Restore the whole database to another machine (or temporary database), then copy the table seems like the easiest to me.
