A "happy state" is a bit like an empty state but occurs when the user successfully completes a task or likewise.
Is there a coined term for this kind of screen?
Example (this source names it a "congrats page" but that doesn't sound right as it doesn't speak for other kinds of "happy states"): 
user-feedback states

Can you possibly tighten this question up a bit? Are you asking about a way to describe a screen? or the potential mental state of a user looking at this screen. It's a little confusing to talk about screens being in a "happy state", and if it's the user's mental state you're talking about, then using emotions as a reference is likely to be inaccurate, because it's quite possible for one user to reach the end of process and be pleased, but another to reach the end of the same process and feel completely indifferent about it.

The traditional term to describe the ideal mental state achieved upon successful completion of a step or process is delight.
"e.g. the user reads that their submission was successfully received and was delighted"
This is used to describe the optimal mental state of a user. Not just that they are feeling positive, or satisfied, but that there is some element of pleasure involved.
There's a lot out there on the topic. Here's a selection from a search for 'UX delight':

I don't think this actually addresses the OP's request. He was asking about an app state, a page to show, not the user's mental state. As far as I understand it.

Good point. I'll ask for qualification.

Visibility of system status is one of the 10 heuristics defined by Jakob Nielsen, even though Mailchimp does a good job when it comes to the wording, the screen you uploaded is not primarly meant to make the user "happy", the primal use is to tell the user that his action was successful.
You can read more about that here:
10 Heuristics defined by Jakob Nielsen
So if i would have to name this kind of screen i would name it "feedback screen".
Many companies with a different language defined by their brand guidelines would not use the "high fives" as the headline and instead would write something like "Success" etc.

Should be "Success page". Derived can be "Success animation", "Success screen". Its also more accurate as not every success needs to be happy.

Should be "Success page". Derived can be "Success animation", "Success screen". Its also more accurate as not every success needs to be happy.
