I don't know much about those things, but if we're seen it now it's because it happens thousands of years ago, right?

This one was 1.3 billion light years away. Technically that is thousands of years ago. 1,300,000 thousands, approximately.
It's 1.3 billion light years away according to the article, so yeah... 1.3 billion years ago. (plus 3 years since it was observed in 2023)
1.3 billion actually.
