Yes, a slingshot can be considered a type of lever. The arm of the slingshot acts as the lever, allowing you to generate force to propel an object forward.
A slingshot represents elastic potential energy, which is the energy stored in stretched elastic materials that can be released to do work.
I think what you are asking about was the trebuchet, which was much more like a sling than like a slingshot. There was a type of catapult called a ballista, which was like a large crossbow, and it is possibly a similarity to this type of weapon that is the reason people in England and many other places call a slingshot a catapult.
A slingshot takes advantage of mechanical energy. When the slingshot is stretched, potential energy is stored in the elastic material. Upon release, this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, propelling the object forward.

Yes, it is a type of torsion catapult, invented in 1888, used by children in the 1940's.
A slingshot is classified as a class 2 lever. In a class 2 lever, the load is situated between the fulcrum and the effort. In the case of a slingshot, the elastic band (load) is stretched between the two prongs (fulcrum) and the person pulling back the band (effort) provides the force needed to launch the projectile.
