Hello VITREO, it is not there in SDSS. You should probably find the z value in the spectrum and put that in an online cosmological distance calculator.
The value (redshift) for this galaxy is z= 0.00387

A good cosmological calculator is
change
redshift z=3
to
redshiftz=0.00387
and you get 53.5 million light years away.
One light-year is about 6 trillion miles or 10 trillion kilometers.
