I've been trying with ChatGPT for hours unsuccessfully, so now I'm asking you : I need to keyframe properties from the "Surfaces" tab (eg Metallicity) in the timeline. Please!

No need for AI, just use what HI (human intelligence) has already offered up to link non-animatable surface properties to animatable node properties:

Well, thank you for the links but it seems more complex than expected. It needs a "product name" and not a selected item to work. Anyway, I think it will be faster to render 50 frames separately. A macro would typically do the trick.
It needs a name for organising the entries in the Data folder, you can enter that yourself in the dialogue the script pops up (as far as I can see).
