a massive enough star reaches the end of its life, it explodes as a supernova. When a chicken supernova reahes the end of it's life.

Wonder if that would have fried anything electronic in the process?
Lucky for us we wern’t using technology more sophisticated than a rock for smashing nuts open.

2.5 million years ago was when the 60Fe arrived.
Assuming that it wasn’t traveling at the speed of light, the explosion was a bit of a distance away. There should be some remnants of the cloud somewhere.
