IF the star Polaris explodes, it will explode a long way off. Polaris is around 400 light years away (the estimates vary...) and it is moving away from us. Polaris isn't big enough to become a supernova, but it may be massive enough to go nova, which would be plenty bright enough. We won't be around to see it; it may happen in billion years or so.
If you're worried about a star exploding, you should worry about Betelgeuse, the red supergiant star at the shoulder of Orion the Hunter. Betelgeuse is a MASSIVE star, and the bigger a star is, the more quickly it ages. Betelgeuse could easily go supernova within the lifetime of our civilization, within the next 50,000 years or so.
Seriously, don't worry about it. If it happens, it will be as bright as the full moon, but it's too far away to hurt us.
