I think his likely range is [22, 77, 88, J9s, JT, Txcc, t9,] I think a lot of players would raise flop w/ 2pair but slowplay sets so can maybe discount 78.

So if go with just the range in brackets we are -basically 50/50 and he is an unknown at 5nl. We basically have to call $2.40ish into a pot of $8.15ish - So I think this is a call.

We can even probably widen that range to include hands like J8s, j7s, pairs + turned hearts sometimes, and then sometimes toss in 69s, 78. We still are in good shape vs. that range.

It is tough to construct a range here for an unknown. So I think it is better at these stakes to error on the side of a wider range then a more narrow one.
