Eventually, probably so. Not in our lifetimes, and likely not in the lifetime of the human race.

The mass of Polaris is a bit over 4 solar masses, so it might go nova, but it isn't massive enough to go supernova. And at ~400 light years distance, it won't affect us much when it does.

When is the north star going to explode?

Please note that Polaris is a multiple star. The brightest component, Polaris A, is a supergiant, so it may not live much longer... at least in astronomical terms. Like any supergiant, it will probably run out of fuel some time within the next few million years. After that, it will explode as a supernova.
