I might be absolutely wrong though, I don't really know anything... I just checked how far away it is... but if it has gone supernova already, then we might have a chance to see it? That would be amazing.
There is no way for us to have any information whatsoever about an object until the light (ie, information) has reached us. For all intents and purposes, from our local reference frame, it hasn't happened until we observe.it.
