It does not appear to present even a remote threat to Earth. It’s orbit brings it within 1.01 AU of the sun, only slightly further than Earth, but its orbit is 0.02 AU above the orbit of the Earth’s at that time.

Its orbit may be perturbed by Jupiter in the future, but for the next century at least, there is no threat from this guy.
