org-pass-link-to-system is not a function defined by org mode, AFAICT.
The fact that it's the value of the org-open-link-functions hook reinforces
my belief that at some point in the past, you had defined this function
somewhere and you had included it in the hook; perhaps you lost the function
after an upgrade or a disk failure or ... who knows?

The value of org-open-link-functions is nil in my case, so I'd recommend
you try setting it to that:

     (setq org-open-link-functions nil)

and try following the link. If that works to your satisfaction, then
find the place in your init file or customizations file where
org-pass-link-to-system is added to org-open-link-functions and get
rid of it. Then restart emacs.

HTH.
