UY Scuti is 9,500 light years away so even if it went supernova just under 9,500 years ago we still wouldn't know about it. However it's not expected to go supernova just yet. It should have about a million years left which for a star is a mere heart-beat but for humanity that's about ten times longer than modern humans have existed.

Not yet.
It is a moderately massive star about 7 times the mass of the sun (though vastly bigger)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UY_Scuti
It will have a supernova one day (not a hypernova)
"due to explosions of extremely massive low metallicity stars"
That is a quote from here :-- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypernova#History_of...
