Rarely.

But if a star that is normally visible with the naked eye during the night does go supernova, you will definitely see it -some have. In some cases it may even be visible during the day.

That would have a lot to do with where it's located, as there are stars spread

between roughly 4.2 and 13.5 billion light years from us.

If it's near enough and bright enough so that it peaks brighter than a visual

magnitude of 5 or 6, then it would be naked-eye visible from Earth.

No. They are too small and have very little luminosity. Also, they are a long way away. The closest known pulsar is about 280 light years from us.
