Yes you would need a very deep image to be sure but the two confirmed hostless examples here
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1505.03407.pdf
are at significantly higher redshifts than this one so it should be possible to determine if it is truly hostless given time on a big telescope.
(There is no sign of anything in the DSS, SDSS 2Mass images)
Cheers
