Let's say the user surfs to mysite.com/some-path and encounters error 500 which leads to a custom error page.
What is the best practice regarding the URL shown in the address bar while in the error page - should I leave mysite.com/some-path or should I change it to mysite.com/custom-error.aspx? Is there a good reason not to leave the URL as is?

Definitely leave the URL as it as it is typed into the browser. That way search engines, bots, users, etc. will know that that particular URL is not a valid URL. If you were to redirect to another URL, it's possible that bots, etc. could still index the bad URL, which is not what you want.
