definitely non forcing pass - it's not remotely clear whose hand is it. moreover, you'll never want to bid 6♣ to make, and there will be loads of hands you'll want to just pass out 5♥ (i.e. 6♣ goes for a number and 5♥ may or should go down)
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

We got to game showing values not just pre-empting, I think it should be forcing.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

North announced that the hand was ours with his cue bid followed by a game bid. The pass is forcing.

North has the right to believe that slam is possible, as South took a freebid over 3♥. Why South did so is anyone's guess.

South should double - he doesn't have anything close to a slam bid (or, for that matter, a free 4♣ bid over 3♥).

The fact that 5♥ makes does not justify either a 6♣ bid or a pass of 5♥.
