    $user_role_name = array_shift($user_roles);

You can use the global roles API to get the name of a role.

Something like this:

function get_user_role() {
    global $wp_roles;
    $user = wp_get_current_user();
    
    if($user){
        if ( !empty( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) {
            foreach ( $user->roles as $role )
                echo $wp_roles->roles[$role]['name'];
        }
    }
}
add_shortcode('display_user_role', 'get_user_role');
