SN74LS374: Absolute rating when power is off

Part Number: SN74LS374

(Background)
 When the power is turned off, with a 3.3V signal voltage applied to the buffer input, it takes about 1 second for the power supply voltage (5V) to 0V.

Q) As mentioned above, a 3.3V input signal is applied when the power supply has dropped to 0V. Even in this case, we believe there will be no malfunction because the absolute rating is less than 7V. 
Is this correct?
