So the shark swims around for the rest of its life, no problem, with a hook in its mouth? I find that highly surprising.

The hook will eventually rust out; but in my opinion not in a few days or weeks as is commonly stated.

One time we had a shark to the boat with 3 other hooks in his mouth;probably from tuna fishermen or longliners. We made an exception to just cutting him loose, and kept him alongside and removed all four hooks, and he swam off no problem. - Tom
