What does one foot pound-force per hour represent?

It is a unit of power representing one foot-pound-force of work performed or energy transferred every hour, reflecting a very small mechanical power rate.

Why convert foot pound-force/hour to foot pound-force/minute?

Converting to per-minute units facilitates finer time resolution and easier comparison for machinery or tools operating at speeds better expressed in minutes.

Is foot pound-force per minute an SI unit?

No, it is a non-SI unit of power used mostly in legacy imperial measurement systems for small mechanical power rates.
