Sodium CAN be a metal, just like copper CAN be a metal, but nothing is a metal, a metal is just the crystallized form of some substances. What I mean by this is, well lets take an example, you have zinc, copper, and other things in your body like that, they have a metal shape, but that does NOT mean that there is metal in our bodies. Metal is just a category of substances in solid form. So "metal" is just a solids category.

So yes Sodium can be a metal.

Sodium is a metal.
