Another point- disregarding the grind noise for the moment, when changing our oil, we all let it drain for a good long time. Then we add the new oil. Then we start it and drive away. Is there any difference when we start our cars in the morning? All the oil has drained into the pan overnight and that's ok.

Big difference. In the morning, the engine is only without high pressure oil for a very short moment. Whereas 5 sec's is much, much longer.

As I said, the odds are in your favor, but since you heard something that wasn't normal, the logical thing to to is to have it checked out rather than risk it.
