It appears in this image as just a small dim star like object. It's measured redshift of 1.3340 places it at a current distance of 13.37 billion ly moving away from us at 95% of the speed of light. It was 5.73 billion ly away when the light in this image started its journey taking 8.95 billion years to reach us.
