They can go bad, sure. They're mechanical parts spinning against each other, they can get worn like anything else.

How you know when you supercharger is gone bad?
The most common and normal signs will be: * Oil leakage from the supercharger * Supercharger making a knocking noise * Lower or no boost pressure * Oil not present inside the supercharger

You have lost your supercharger belt for your grand prix gtp 1997 que question is should you just replace the belt or do you need to replace the supercharger if you decide not to replace or fix the be?
You don't have to replace the supercharger you will just have no performence power and bad gas milage, but you will not harm the supercharger. Same thing happen to me, year later I replaced my supercharger belt and supercharger was fine.....dont wait get it fixed dont hurt the GTP!!!!!
Where at on the engine does the supercharger fluid go?
Depending on the supercharger, it will require a special blend of synthetic oil. This synthetic oil normally is located in the supercharger itself. Most superchargers will have a hex nut located on the front of the supercharger. This area is used to drain and fill up the supercharger oil. You cannot use just any synthetic oil, you will have to use "Supercharger Oil"
Leak on a 2001 grandprix gtp right at the end of the supercharger leaking from the bolt that connects the pulley to the supercharger what is the problem?
That is a major sign that the supercharger is going bad and will need a rebuild. Basically the seal is leaking from the front nose cone. The seal usually leaks when the bearings have gone bad. The two best options will to replace the front nose cone, or get a rebuilt supercharger. Once the oil starts to leak the bearings will have no oil and it will soon fail on you.
Is it possible to put a supercharger on a pocket bike?
You can put a supercharger on any engine. All a supercharger is, is an air compressor that forces air into the engine. If you can find a compressor small enough and figure out a why to hook it up, then you will be good to go.
Due to your supercharger not having any oil can this be why your alternator sounds strange?
No, it has nothing to do with the Alternator. However, it will make a noise similar to a bad bearing sorta like how an alternator will sound when it goes bad. No oil in the supercharger is very bad, and will lead it to fail. Most of the time if it has no oil in it, it means it has a faulty seal and most likely your bearings are bad inside of it.
If your 1995 buick supercharger goes bad does the engine goes bad too?
Typically, no. Assuming a bearing failure or similar problem with the supercharger, you should just be able to replace it and be done. If however, there was a catastrophic failure of the supercharger, pieces of metal and debris could have been sucked into the engine and may have caused damage. You should be able to determine whether debris is present based on observation of the supercharger once it's removed and by inspecting the intake manifold just underneath.
1998 park avenue ultra has loud knocking coming from super charger what could it be?
It might be the supercharger going bad. The supercharger has a little coupler that is located in between the supercharger nose and the main body. This coupler is located inside and once it starts to wear out it will start making a clunk sound. You can replace the coupler, replace the nose, or rebuild the whole supercharger.

2003 xterra with a supercharger and Nissan told me i should replace it what do you think?
I think if it is not leaking oil yet, you should take it apart to see if the coupler is bad. If the coupler is bad, it is just a $34.00 part and only takes around 1 hour to replace it. Now, if your supercharger is bad, the best thing to do is to source out a rebuilt one.
How do you make a 2007 silverado go faster?
