It is sp3d hybridized. Well it has 1 lone pair and 4 bond pair so sum become 5 i.e. sp3d. It`s not the actual way but answer is always correct using it. And has a seesaw shape.The distribution includes 1 lone pair and 4 sulfur- fluorine bond in a triagonal bipyramid geometry. Since lone pair cause more repulsion it occupies equatorial position and rest position are occupied by fluorine. Hence its shape becomes see saw.
