It currently is orbiting the sun, on an orbit that takes 450 days. It is an orbit that takes it close to Earth's orbit, and so is not stable in the long term. It may eventually collide with the Earth, but perhaps only after many thousands of years. It is not functioning (it doesn't have any way of generating power) and is pretty small, much to small to be picked up in Earth telescopes. We don't know exactly where it is now.
