 Just as the other have added, it takes dedication and determination to get you to your desired rank. For me, I usually tell newbies to not always be conscious of what they'd get when they make posts or contribute because it may deter them if their expectations are not met(i.e merits). Once you look at the forum as a place to quickly rank up so you can join a sig campaign alone, you'd get discouraged when you are not getting the required merits. A user said it would take a default time if 490 days to get to that rank but I feel it could be less than that. I've seen some users who thanks to how contributory they are in the forum get merited for most of their works.
 Bottom line is, try not to put getting merits as the main focus so that even on the days you don't get it, you won't get bored or lose interest.

I've been pondering this question for a little now since I would like to contribute to the forums and provide interesting topics as well as explore the website and eventually rank up here.

How long would it take for someone who contributes often to get to this "Hero rank?"

How about average users who don't often contribute? How long would it take for them to achieve the role? Any estimates?
ranking up in the forum is a testament that you have been an active member of the forum that has positively affected the forum through referring of your wealth of experience and insight into the discussions in the forum. If you give more contributions through your meaningful post and replies, you will easily rank up to whatever level you are aspiring to within the shortest possible time.

Ranking up isn't a function of how long you've started in the forum. Their are members that will achieve a snr member within three months of joining the forum while some might even take a year plus just to attain that height, try difference is that one is an active member of the forum that is sharing his positive insight with the board while the other might not be all that active.

One thing I have also learnt about the forum with regard to growing in rank is that one need to continue engaging in post that he is knowledgeable about if you have an answer to a question that is being asked in the forum don't close your mouth and allow it pass you by, say something and when the time comes, you will get rewarded.

But if you decide to attain any height in the forum and you put in the needed effort, it won't take time before you attain that height.

For someone who contributes meaningful regularly to the forum which means the member earns the required merit meant for each rank then a default time of 490 days is ok to achieve the activity meant for an hero member rank. But for someone who doesn’t contribute to the forum regularly then it will take an un estimated time to get ti that rank because even if the rank activity target is meant then without the required number of the merits (500 for Hero member) the rank wouldn’t be achieved.

This is one of the reason why the merit system was even enacted to reduce the number of members growing in ranks without contributing meaningfully to the forum.

You can find the time here[1] but then, of course, you would also need to earn merits so the time below doesn't consider that as it all depends on the quality of your posts. If you were to get the merits before getting the needed activity points to upgrade, you wouldn't need any extra time.
