A couple of things first.

This is not a correctable error. This is a play referenced in the casebook and all points are legal. The horn being sounded may have no significance on the play unless if affects the players (they stop). The shot was in the air so the points certainly should have counted. Technically they could have stopped the game after that to inform the officials that a mistake had been made. It really would not matter in this situation unless the shot was missed.

If there was a 6th foul you treat it like any other foul, unless the player came back in after being DQ'd. You only can remove them when properly informed. If you do not know, we have to live with all the consequences like it was never their 5th foul.

Peace
