It would say it's in the same category as 'fart'. To some people it is, to some people it isn't.

Really? It probably is in America, I think most British people would not see it that way.

that was meant to be 5h1t
No, it's fine, at least in our generation. I can't recall parents or older people saying it though. I don't think there is a precise answer - it depends on context.

My German exchange partner had learned excellent English in America, including a full repertoire of swear words which he used in contexts that would have been fine over there (probably) but were completely inappropriate over here. I had to do some hasty re-educating.
Absolutely not.
I once heard someone get offended by the word Damn, and claim it's a swearword, they were quite old though.
