There’s less than a 1% chance that it will go supernova in the next century. About a 10% chance that it will go off in the next 10,000 years. And it’s almost certain that it will explode in the next 200,000 years. We can’t see what is going on in it’s interior, or what stage of its fusion cycle it’s in. It’s probably still fusing hydrogen or maybe helium.
