The word he's is a singular contraction, not a possessive form.

The contraction he's is a shortened form of the pronoun 'he' and the verb 'is'.

The contraction he's functions as a subject and verb (or auxiliary verb) in a sentence or a clause.

The possessive form of the personal pronoun he is his.

Pronouns that function as possessives do not use an apostrophe.

Examples:

He is my brother. Or: He's my brother. (contraction)

The house on the corner is his. (possessive pronoun)

His house is on the corner. (possessive adjective)
