    The smaller dot near the centre looks a bit too 'perfect'. I'm thinking artefact

    Don't think it's a SN.
    And by the way you cannot tell this from just one picture. You'd need at least a before and after pic. And redshift values to confirm the SN is in the galaxy and not a foreground star (which is also a possibility)
