What does one horsepower (metric) hour represent?

It is the energy produced by maintaining one metric horsepower, equal to approximately 2,647,795.5 joules or 0.73549875 kWh over one hour.

Why use gram-force meter [gf*m] to measure energy?

Gram-force meter is useful for describing small mechanical work amounts and legacy engineering applications where gravity-based force units were originally used.

Are there accuracy concerns when converting these units?

Yes, since gram-force meter depends on standard gravity, which may vary slightly, and its non-SI status limits precision in scientific contexts.
