Answer
When you use Baited Hook to kill your Unsung Hero, you look at the top 5 cards of your deck before the Unsung Hero's Deathknell ability resolves.
The sequence of events is as follows:
- Baited Hook begins resolving. Its first instruction is to "Kill a friendly unit."
- When the Unsung Hero is killed, its Deathknell ability triggers and is added to the chain as a pending item.
- Because you are currently resolving the Baited Hook spell, you must complete all of its instructions before the chain can process any pending triggers.
- You proceed to the next instruction on Baited Hook: "Look at the top 5 cards of your Main Deck."
- After Baited Hook finishes all its instructions and is placed in the trash, the Deathknell trigger resolves.
Summary: You look at the top 5 cards first as part of the Baited Hook resolution. The Deathknell effect resolves afterward.
Note: I could not fully verify this ruling against the retrieved rules.
