For all we know, it's simply another unusually large neutron star
that's going to last next to forever, with a surface gravity of
perhaps <1e15 m/sec, and therefore what we can see of it is actually
the photon event horizon that's a good 1024r to start with.
Next stop for that stellar evolution is for it to collect mass and
turn into a black hole and subsequently deliver serious gamma. Good
thing it's not headed our way, or pointing either pole towards us when
it morphs into a black hole.
At 1e6r, the massive neutron star of perhaps 100 km radii that's
offering 1e15 m/sec at its surface is still pulling at 1e3 m/sec. In
other words, at 1e9r(1e14 m) is still 1e-3 m/sec that might suggest
not getting yourself within 0.1 ly of this thing.

Stars consuming other stars apparently don’t always explode, or
otherwise nova.
Sirius(B) may have consumed Sirius(C) long before going red
supergiant, and then having become a white dwarf that some here don't
believe ever caused a nova or any gamma concern for our nearby solar
system.
The way weird stars that shouldn't exist are being discovered seems to
suggest that astrophysics still doesn't have a working stellar model.
