The tooth won't errupt anymore as u are 40.
Since the tooth is partially erupted, extraction is a better choice.
Next Steps
Get an IOPA X-RAY done for the tooth.

Half or partially erupted wisdom molar will not erupt more as you have surpassed that age. It has seized eruption due to lack of space. It is not possible to do a filling in a partially erupt d wisdom molar
Next Steps
Best to extract before cavity deepens and gives you emergency pain situation. Better to do a planned extraction of the tooth.
