According to the non-canon Q Continuum series of novels by Greg Cox, the Sha Ka Ree entity was known as "The One," and was exiled to the center of the galaxy for causing a civil war centered around the premature destruction of the legendary Tkon Empire millennia before being rediscovered by Sybok and the crew of the Enterprise-A. He was an associate and contemporary of 0 (pronounced "Nil", as in nothing), the Beta XII-A entity, or (*) as 0 referred to it (used in type because its real name was apparently unpronounceable, or even incomprehensible, by Humans), and Gorgan in this endeavor.

The One was referred to by 0 as the entity "who invented Monotheism." He was not originally of this plane and was summoned to this universe via the Guardian of Forever. After causing chaos among the Tkon Empire, he was subsequently defeated and his body destroyed by the combined efforts of Q2, the female Q, and the Q who became known as Quinn; only his head remained, and that was subsequently sealed away by the Q Continuum at the center of the galaxy until his repentance or the heat death of the universe – whichever came first – while 0 was sealed outside the galaxy by the galactic barrier for all eternity.
This is the only piece of media that shows the origin of the being on Sha Ka Ree and it's not even canon. There isn't a single mention of Sha Ka Ree or Star Trek V in any of the breakdowns of The Nth Degree.

It would be interesting if the two were related, I'm not denying that, but you are still jumping to a conclusion because you see a slight similarity between the two. Your link to the page saying that Joe Menosky who wrote the Nth Degree thought "God" was a renegade Cytherian is unsourced.

If you don't know what the Guardian of Forever is you must also not be aware that in the original series they dealt with several different alien species that were giant floating heads with supernatural abilities.
