I did some digging and couldn’t find a direct answer, but did find:
A balk (in record keeping for the game) is treated the same way as a (successful) stolen base; and
In the box score for last night’s Mets-Marlins game, all the runs were earned runs.

So apparently, a balk that allows a run to score is an earned run.

Cool beans!
