The WR104 star system is currently stable and poses no immediate threat to Earth. However, it is a binary star system with one star potentially capable of producing a gamma-ray burst that could affect Earth if it were to align with our planet. This alignment is not expected to occur in the near future, but it is a potential risk to be monitored.
Stars like R136a1, the most massive star known, go hypernova, but fail to leave behind even a black hole. A supernova remnant on steroids would be what is left. Stars like VY Canis Majoris, which are less massive, also conclude their lives with a hypernova, but produce a black hole, which fires intense gamma ray bursts. We could be in the gun barrel of WR104, which has an axis which seems to point right towards us.
